War

Batra
(PVC).

life
character
I

Karan
Johar
who
is
bankrolling
this
film,
said
in
his
statement,
"Shershaah
is
the
true
story
of
a
war
hero
whose
indomitable
spirit
and
bravery
brought
victory
to
our
nation.
His
sacrifices
are
invaluable
and
his
life
is
an
inspiration
for
generations
to
come.
We
are
extremely
glad
to
have
found
a
home
for
what
I
believe
is
a
true
cinematic
marvel,
in
Amazon
Prime
Video,
and
are
excited
to
mark
the
beginning
of
a
new
chapter
in
our
relationship
with
them.
Shershaah
is
our
homage
to
the
valour
of
our
soldiers
and
I
hope
every
viewer's
heart
swells
with
pride
watching
this
film."
Apoorva
Mehta,
CEO,
Dharma
Productions
added,
"We
knew
Shershaah
would
be
a
special
film
from
the
minute
the
Batra
family
approached
Sidharth
Malhotra
and
us
to
tell
the
story
of
Captain
Vikram
Batra
(PVC).
We
are
glad
to
have
found
a
brilliant
partner
with
Amazon
Prime
Video
to
take
this
story
to
the
world
and
there
is
no
better
time
to
premiere
this
film
than
the
Independence
Day
weekend.
We
are
proud
to
present
Shershaah
to
the
audience
and
we
hope
they
too
echo
the
sentiment."
Directed
by
Vishnu
Varadhan
and
jointly

Shershaah
is
inspired
by
the
life
