Earlier, the film also received a special review by superstar Shah Rukh Khan. He tweeted, ""If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live." – King, Jr. Watching the impactful story of legendary Kargil War hero Capt. Vikram Batra (PVC), on screen makes us realise the meaning of this quote. Watch #Shershaah with Sid's solid performance."

In the film, Malhotra was seen in the double role of Captain Vikram Batra and his twin brother Vishal Batra. For the unversed, Captain Vikram Batra laid down his life in the service of the nation while recapturing Indian territories from Pakistani intruders during the Kargil War in 1999. And due to his immense bravery, he was given the title of 'Sher Shah' (Lion King). Set in the 90s, the film will also offer an insight into the age of innocent romance, showcasing the chemistry between the leading pair- Kiara and Sidharth.
Kiara was seen portraying the role of Dimple Cheema, a strong pillar of support to Captain Vikram Batra.
