Shershaah – There may be a lot of differences among people in our country but still, there are some things about which all of us feel the same way, as the adrenaline rush whenever there’s a discussion about the Kargil War. One of the toughest wars in the history of our country, the Kargil war was the result of the infiltration of the Pakistan army. Pakistani soldiers infiltrated the high peaks of Kargil in the dress of terrorists and took possession. Although the war was won, we lost a lot of gems in the process and one of them was Captain Vikram Batra code-named Shershah. Captain Vikram Batra showed indomitable courage during the Kargil war and tales of his bravery in the war made him a hero across the country.
Now, Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions is coming up with ‘Shershah’ on the story of Captain Vikram Batra.

About Captain Vikram Batra
Vikram Batra was a Captain in 13 JAK Rifles. He joined the army in 1997 and within two years, he became a Captain. In the war of Kargil, under his leadership, the army had conquered the five most important points of Kargil. Many of these points were on a steep climb of 70 to 80 degrees and the Pakistani soldiers sitting above could watch every movement of our soldiers. Despite this, the Captain and his comrades won the difficult battle and gave the army a strategic edge. He was martyred on 7 July 1999 while saving his comrades at the mere age of 24 years. Captain Vikram was awarded the Param Veer Chakra posthumously which is India’s highest military decoration.
There are lots of hopes from the movie as there was a lot of excitement for it. Now, let’s hope that the movie will be stood up to its name as Captain Batra stood up to his code name ‘SHERSHAH’.
