SIDHARTH MALHOTRA’S VIKRAM BATRA BIOPIC GETS DELAYED?

Sidharth Malhotra who was last seen in Aiyaary is currently preparing for his next movie, produced by Ekta Kapoor which will be a love story. Apart from this, Sidharth has also signed a biopic on the life of Kargil martyr Vikram Batra and will begin the shooting for the movie in the month of June.

Now there are reports that the biopic titled Kargil: Sher Shah has been postponed. Malhotra will begin to work first on Ekta Kapoor's film. A leading daily quoted its source saying; “Sidharth Malhotra is having a rough phase at the box office. While A Gentleman and Aiyaary tanked at the ticket window, Ittefaq just about managed decently. Hence getting into the shoes of a personality like Vikram Batra is a huge responsibility. For the same, the actor needs more time. Therefore the team has put the movie on hold and Malhotra instead will begin work on Ekta’s film soon.”

“Due to Sidharth’s last two movies’ business, no producer was ready to put in money. The actor later approached his mentor Karan Johar to come on board as a producer. Needless to say the Dharma head honcho has agreed, despite the questionable status over Malhotra’s bankabality at the box office,” added the source.

There are also reports stating the movie has got shelved. The daily quoted its source saying; “With Dharma coming on board as the producer there is no need for the movie to get shelved. As of now, it is only delayed. Hopefully it should begin by the year end.”
