Sidharth Malhotra On Shershaah: This Would Not Have Disappointed At The Box-Office

Mumbai, August 18, 2021: Bollywood actor Sidharth Malhotra has become the talk of the town after delivering his career-best performance in the recently released, Shershaah. The film, which is a biopic of the Kargil War hero Vikram Batra, is getting rave reviews from all parts of the country. Those who have watched the movie hailed Sidharth for portraying Batra in the film.

Directed by Vishnuvardhan in his Hindi debut, Shershaah premiered directly on Amazon Prime Video on August 12. However, soon after the movie was released on OTT, there has been chatter among critics and the audience about how it was meant to be consumed on the big screen. The trade predicted Shershaah to become Sid's biggest grosser to date had it released in the cinema halls.



In an interview with Pinkvilla, Sidharth too himself admitted that after the kind of response the movie received, it would have been a successful outing in theaters. However, he is also aware that the movie was ready to release for a long time now, and keeping that in mind, the makers took a decision to release it on the digital platform.

"After looking at the love and response from the audience, I know for sure that this would not have disappointed at the box office. That being said, we were ready last July and the film was shot keeping the big screen in mind. But this is the new norm. We may not have a full capacity of screens this year and that wouldn't do justice to a film of this scale. Hence, we decided to bring it to the small screen at everyone's home", Sidharth said to Pinkvilla.

Shershaah also stars Kiara Advani as the female lead. She played the role of Dimple Cheema, Batra's love interest, and was lauded for doing justice to the charactor. The film was produced by Dharma Productions and Kaash Entertainment. It also stars Shiv Pandit, Nikitin Dheer, Anil Charanjeett, Sahil Vaid, Pawan Chopra, Bijay Anand, among others in supporting roles.
