A sneak-peek of Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani-starrer Shershaah released on Thursday noon. The film, presented jointly by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Amazon Prime Video India, will release on August 12, ahead of the country’s Independence Day.
The one-minute video featured a couple of shots of Malhotra dressed in the army uniform as the late Captain Vikram Batra, mixed with some real-life footage from the Kargil war, featuring Vikram Batra himself and media personality Barkha Dutt.
Shershaah is essentially a war drama that will potentially pack an emotional punch as well. The release date announcement video was first shared by filmmaker Karan Johar on his Twitter handle, who wrote, “An ordinary man’s extraordinary journey of courage and valour. Extremely honoured, thrilled & excited to present #ShershaahOnPrime, releasing on 12th August only on @primevideoin. #Shershaah.”
