Sidharth Malhotra’s blockbuster film Shershaah, has just won the Special Jury Award at the 69th National Film Awards. This award comes as the icing on the cake for a film that has received much love and admiration across the globe.

Present at Delhi to receive the award were Shershaah’s Producer, Karan Johar and Director Vishnuvardhan. Posting a video of this momentous achievement on his Instagram handle, Karan Johar thanked Sidharth Malhotra for bringing this project to him and Dharma. Karan Johar also went on to thank Sidharth’s wife and co-star Kiara Advani, director Vishnuvardhan, the scriptwriter and the other supporting cast members.

In his caption, he wrote - A momentous day for us all.

Firstly, my biggest admiration for @apoorva 1972, always the strongest pillar of strength in any situation. Thank you @sidmalhotra, who brought this special story to us at @dharmamovies. And continued to play the role of Captain Vikram Batra like no one could! You are the hearts of the film... @kiaraaliaadvani, truly one of the most special artists we have in the industry today...you brought in the pain, the pathos and the pride with Dimple's character. Vishnu Varadhan, the man who made each frame possible. Your vision is what steered this ship to victory. @isandeepshrivastava, a film is only as great as the script
on paper & you gave us nothing less than gold.

Our supporting cast @shivpanditt, @nikitindheer, @shatafclicks, @anilcharanjeett, @rajarjunofficial, @sahilvaid24 and many more…

For the unversed, the journey of Shershaah began with a simple conversation between Student of the Year star Sidharth Malhotra, and Vishal Batra, brother of Kargil War hero, Captain Vikram Batra. The result of which was the award-winning Shershaah. 

Sidharth Malhotra’s portrayal of the heroic Captain Vikram Batra will forever remain iconic and is the perfect tribute to the life of Captain Batra, a perfect addition to his heroic legacy.
