Sidharth Malhotra-starrer Shershaah to be released on 2 July

Directed by Vishnuvardhan, the film is based on the life of the late captain Vikram Batra. 

Vishnuvardhan's biopic on the late captain Vikram Batra, Shershaah, will be released on 2 July. The film stars Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani. 

The title of the film refers to the call sign of the late captain, who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra — the highest award for gallantry in military services in India — for his valour during the Kargil conflict in 1999. 

The film, which was shot in 2019 in Kargil, ran into problems with the arrival of the pandemic. Initially scheduled for a 3 July 2020 release, Shershaah is being produced by Dharma Productions and will mark the directorial debut of Vishnuvardhan.
