										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Actor Sidharth Malhotra has revealed that though he hasn&#8217;t meet Dimple Cheema, he hopes that she has smiled as she watched the war biopic Shershaah. In the recently released film, Sidharth portrayed the role of Captain Vikram Batra. Dimple was the girlfriend of the soldier who died during the Kargil War of 1999.</p>
<p>In Shershaah, Sidharth Malhotra essayed the double role of Captain Vikram Batra and his twin Vishal Batra. Actor Kiara Advani played the role of Dimple Cheema. The film released on August 12 on Amazon Prime Video.</p>
<p>In an interview with a leading daily, Sidharth Malhotra said, &#8220;I never met her, but I am hoping that she&#8217;s watched Shershaah and smiling. I am sure it is a very difficult watch for her as well but I really appreciate her sense of privacy and the purity she has for her love to Captain Vikram Batra.&#8221; He also said that he got an opportunity to show the family members the film in Delhi and they had &#8216;all good things to say&#8217;.</p>
<p>When asked if he is expecting a National Award for his performance in the film, Sidharth said, “That’s so sweet, I am so happy that you think so (smiles). But right now I am just enjoying the fact that people are enjoying my work and the craft. I think it’s one of the most prestigious awards that an actor can receive from the government. I am not really thinking about it as of now, but just really soaking in the love and the appreciation that is coming to the film.&#8221;</p>
<p>Directed by Vishnu Varadhan, Shershaah is based on the life of Param Vir Chakra awardee Captain Vikram Batra, who laid down his life in the service of the nation while recapturing Indian territories from Pakistani intruders during the Kargil War in 1999.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra is back on the screen with his just-released film Shershaah. The film is directed by Vishnu Vardhan which is based on the life of Captain Vikram Batra (PVC). The biographical war drama narrates the life story of Captain Batra and how he led the charge of his troops during the 1999 Kargil war. He was given the highest wartime gallantry award Param Vir Chakra posthumously. Siddharth plays the role of Captain Vikram Batra and his role as a soldier has been well-received by the audience.</p>
<p>The role of Vikram Batra is close to Sidharth as his grandfather had also served in the Indian Army. Siddharth said, &#8220;I would have chosen to be in the Indian Army just like my grandfather who served the nation and fought in the India-China war in 1962.&#8221;</p>
<p>There are a lot of takeaways for the actor from &#8216;Shershaah&#8217;. &#8220;For me, there is so much I have learned through this film, though I have experienced a bit of the Army through my grandfather, but here to really dive deep into the details of it, it is the Army etiquette, the discipline.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is just amazing to see how professional and how deeply detailed their functioning is, and I think we have one of the best armies in the world. I was very happy to play a small part of this true-born hero.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the film, Malhotra was seen in the double role of Captain Vikram Batra and his twin brother Vishal Batra. Directed by Vishnu Varadhan and jointly produced by Dharma Productions and Kaash Entertainment, Shershaah also features actors Shiv Panditt, Raj Arjun, Pranay Pachauri, Himanshu Ashok Malhotra, Nikitin Dheer, Anil Charanjeett, Sahil Vaid, Shataf Figar and Pawan Chopra.</p>
<p>Shershaah was supposed to release last year in theatres, but the coronavirus-induced lockdown forced cinema halls to shut, delaying its arrival. It was further pushed to release at the beginning of 2021 but later it was announced that the film would stream on Amazon Prime Video.</p>
<p>Siddharth shared the details during a chat with IMDb.</p>
