After Neeraj Pandey's 'Aiyaary', Sidharth Malhotra is all set to return to Kashmir to begin shooting for the Captain Vikram Batra biopic. The film is scheduled to go on floors in June this year. Titled 'Kargil: Sher Shah', the Captain’s code name during the war, the film will also be shot in Ladakh, Chandigarh and the Indian Military Academy in Dehradun. “Sidharth has been in touch with Vikram’s twin brother, Vishal, who is on board to offer inputs to the story. His girlfriend Dimple Cheema has also helped the team with the research as, besides Vikram’s valour, the film will also explore their love story. The team is aiming to wrap up the film by the year-end,” a source revealed.
“Prep will include training in horse-riding and shooting. Sidharth will play the double role of Vikram and Vishal,” the source continued. Captain Vikram Batra was no short of a true hero. During his battle with the enemy camp in Kargil, a junior officer injured his legs in an explosion. While Vikram rushed to help him, he was shot in the chest which led to his demise. Captain Vikram Batra was honoured with the Param Vir Chakra a month after India won the war. Stay tuned for more updates.
