Mumbai, July 2, 2021: Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani starrer biographical war action drama, Shershaah, becomes the latest Bollywood biggie to skip a theatrical release.

It is directed by Tamil filmmaker Vishnuvardhan in his Hindi directorial debut and produced by Dharma Productions and Kaash Entertainment. Siddharth Malhotra took to social media and announced the digital premiere of Shershaah with a teaser.
"Heroes live on through their stories. We are honoured to bring to you the true story of the Kargil War hero, Captain Vikram Batra (PVC). A film with a long journey for me & a real-life character I am proud to play. #ShershaahOnPrime comes out on 12th August only on @PrimeVideoIN", Siddharth wrote.
Initially, Shershah was scheduled to release theatrically worldwide on 3 July 2020 but was indefinitely delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
