										<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>Filmmaker Priyadarshan, known for some of the most successful, rib-tickling comedies, says he doesn’t laugh a lot in real life. The director, who spearheaded Hindi comedy films in the 2000s like Hera Pheri, Hungama, Garam Masala and Malamaal Weekly, said he measures the humour in his movies by the width of his smile.</p>
<p>Creating the perfect situation for comedy is difficult and making people laugh even more. I make sure, first, whether I can laugh or not. Because I generally don’t laugh (that much), I am a miser in laughing. But once I know I can smile, I am assured in theatres I can make people laugh. That’s how I measure it and have been doing it for the last 39 years,” Priyadarshan told PTI.</p>
<p>The director began his career in Malayalam cinema in the early 80s and is credited for helming some of the most acclaimed, entertaining comedies of the era, right from his directorial debut Poochakkoru Mookkuthi (1984), Boeing Boeing to Mazha Peyyunnu Maddalam Kottunnu among others.</p>
<p>Priyadarshan is currently awaiting the release of his latest Bollywood comedy, Hungama 2, scheduled to be premiere on Disney+Hotstar on July 23. The film will mark the filmmaker’s return to Hindi cinema after the 2013 action drama Rangrezz.</p>
