As Shershaah completes a year, actor Himanshu Malhotra feels nostalgic on the occasion

Actor Himanshu Malhotra played the role of  Major Rajeev Kapoor in Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani starrer Shershaah. Those who have seen the film know that he has put up a commendable performance; the audience and critics have praised Malhotra’s work. Himanshu has a few important scenes in the film, in which he is talking to Sidharth Malhotra, aka Vikram Batra, and then in the final scenes when Himanshu delivered a strong war cry when Vikram Batra’s last rite was being performed.

The film completed a year on the 12th of August and he has shared his emotions about the film. He says, ”It’s a magical, beautiful, heart-wrenching film for me. I spent almost a year shooting in Palampur, Kargil, and Chandigarh. I remember article 370 was going on during that time, so there was no Internet or phone calls. So we did all our music jamming sessions and have our meals together. This film also introduced me to actors like Sidharth Malhotra, Shiv Pandit, and Niketan Dheer who later on became my friends. Traveling together, exploring new places through all this has helped us create a lovely bond.”

He also adds, ”On the set, director Vishnuvardhan and writer Sandeep Srivastava were always active and on their toes. Their hard work is truly appreciated. And then there are the assistant directors like Altamash and Salman whose efforts have made us all comfortable. And after we saw the film after the shooting, it was such an overwhelming experience. Shershaah is a part of my legacy now. We all are proud of Shershaah.”
