SIDHARTH MALHOTRA OPENS UP ON 'VIKRAM BATRA' BIOPIC
New Update

Sidharth Malhotra's 'Aiyaary' recently got released and it has received positive response from the viewers. The movie also features Manoj Bajpayee along with Sidharth Malhotra. The film is about the chase of a mentor when his disciple, an honest army personnel turns rogue to reveal a major scam involving corrupt bureaucrats and army officials.

Sidharth will now be working on his next project which will be a biopic on Capt. Vikram Batra and titled as Vikram Batra. It is about a man who gave up his life during the Kargil war so he could save his men. Sidharth says that he is quite nervous to play such a strong character as movie has a great impact and they live for long. This is Sidharth's first biopic movie and he will be seen in a double role, the role of Vikram and his twin brother Vishal. The film is predominately about Captain Vikram and things are to be planned cleverly as it has double roles in it. He impacted so many people in the Army.

Sidharth told Hindustan Times, "This story is based on the Kargil war and it’s very inspiring and touching. I’ve never played a character that’s real. Their family approached me a while ago and said that if anyone had to play their son, then they’d be very interested if I could do it. It was very overwhelming, because I had heard of his story, but when I got into the details, it was amazing to learn about his life and journey."

"It’s very difficult to portray someone who, at such a young age, gave up his life for the country. You have to give it respect because we’re talking about a martyr. That’s more challenging than being compared. He is not a celebrity, so I have less to worry about in that regard, but I have to be sensitive so that I do justice to the role and don’t offend people. I feel very answerable to the family; they approached me for the role. I hope they feel satisfied and happy when the film releases," added the actor.

The shoot for the film is expected to begin from this summer.
