For the unversed, Captain Vikram Batra was an Indian Army officer, who fought for the country in the Kargil War in 1999 and lost his life.
Later the Sidharth starrer Shershaah documented the life of this Army officer and won immense love for playing the lead role in the movie.
On the work front, after the success off Yodha, Sidharth Malhotra is in advanced talks to lead the cast of Race 4 alongside Saif Ali Khan and is also contemplating scripts these days.
