Wisnu Varadhan’s director took an early flight from Delhi to Chennai a day after the family of Captain Vikram Batra, PVC and officials from the Armed Forces watched Shersaah on special screening.
Reviving the experience of placing a film together, which released the Amazon Prime video today, he said, “I did not enter this film with a preset idea of what I wanted to say.
For six months, the writer Sandeep Srivastava and I traveled extensively To do our own research for the film.
We met the family of Captain Vikram Batra, friends and fellow officers and more, and gathered all the information we needed to enter pen paper.
The idea is to give the story right with the man’s emotions and Raw and real.
When Military Officials and Captain Vikram Father Batra praised what they saw in the film, I felt we had done our work well.
”
Sidharth Malhotra played Captain Vikram Batra, who was dead in the 1999 cargil war.
While the actor had praised his director of his approach to the film, Wisnu believed that it was an effort of all his star cast who had played an important role in the way the film turned out to be.
“Kiara and Sidharth went with me when we examined.
Kiara also filled Cheema dimples and chatting length with her.
Sidharth met Battery, especially Vishal Batra, Captain Vikram Batra identical.
They made their own notes about what they want to bring to the table.
We were on the same page about not imitating Vikram and dimples.
Instead, we decided to go with the emotions of this character and play it right, “he shared.
The film, together produced by Dharma Productions Karan Johar and Kaash Entertainment, was shot in Cargil, Palampur, and several parts of Chandigarh – all locations where captain Vikram Batra had set foot.
Talking about it, Wisnu said, “Maybe these things.
Don’t be important for the audience, but they are important to us.
This is a sign of our sincerity to the story and we have changed the location to be a credible character.
They are not just a place where an action occurs.
It was amazing to visit Palampur where Captain Vikram Batra grew and where his last procession took place, The Rock Garden in Chandigarh, and all places in Cargil where he was during the war.
It’s hard to believe that we even got the chance to take pictures in the cargil on Height 12,000 to 14,000 feet above sea level.
I can write a book about recording films in Cargil.
It’s scary, however, something that makes us overwhelmed.
I thank you for this lifetime experience.
The process of making this film has changed my perspective on life forever and what the armed officials do for us every day in Ki’s life TA.
