Shershaah: Salman Khan Suggested Brother-in-law Aayush Sharma for Captain Vikram Batra Biopic

Shershaah follows the true life story of Param Vir Chakra Capt Vikram Batra and the title function has been performed by Sidharth Malhotra. Now, it has come to gentle that Salman Khan was eager on seeing his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma within the function of Capt Batra. Shershaah producer Shabbir Boxwala has revealed that Salman approached him and instructed Aayush’s title. However, the producer had already instructed Sidharth’s title to Capt Batra’s household.

“Salman approached me at a stage when I was in talks with Junglee Pictures. He wanted Shershaah to be Aayush’s (Sharma) debut film, and wanted to partner with me on it. However, the family ‘unanimously seconded’ on the idea of Sidharth playing the Param Vir Chakra awardee by then and a meeting between the actor and the family was already arranged. It would have been highly unethical to drop him for another actor. When Capt Batra’s family gave me the rights, it was a big moment for me. They showed immense trust in me, and I didn’t want to go wrong at any step. I explained it to Salman, who was understanding. Aayush was sweet and sportingly said that playing a double role in his debut movie might be (a tall order),” Shabbir informed Mid-Day.
