Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who is portraying Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra (PVC) in the upcoming film `Shershaah`, says that it was not only a huge responsibility for him as an actor to play the legend onscreen but also it was a story, close to his heart. Talking about how the actor emotionally involved himself to play the character of Batra, Sidharth said, "Playing a man in uniform always instils a sense of pride but portraying a legendary war hero like Vikram Batra was a huge responsibility to shoulder and perform. The role called for a lot of physical and even more mental preparation to get into his shoes and bring to life the real-life story of a man whose courage and grit stood unmatched.
"I have tried my best to stay true to his persona and valour and I am thankful to the Batra family for trusting me. `Shershaah`, as a film is very close to my heart, and it is only fitting that we launch the movie`s trailer at the Kargil Vijay Diwas celebrations. It is an absolute honour to be here among the brave hearts of the Indian Army and their families."
