Kangana Ranaut calls Karan Johar backed Shershaah 'a glorious tribute': 'It was a big responsibility and you all excelled'

Kangana Ranaut is the latest Bollywood celebrity to have watched Sidharth Malhotra starrer Shershaah based on Captain Vikram Batra’s life and loved it. The actress took to social media to applaud the makers of the film for a job well done. Produced by Karan Johar and helmed by Vishnu Vardhan, Shershaah released on Amazon Prime Video earlier this month.

While Karan’s has been the first name on Kangana’s nepotism hit list, the actress who hails from Himachal like Captain Vikram Batra couldn’t help but shower praises on the film and the portrayal of the Kargil martyr’s life.

In a series of Instagram stories Kangana heaped praises on Shershaah. In one she wrote, “National hero Vikram Batra was a Himachali boy from Palampur, very popular and loved soldier. When the tragedy happened, news spread like wildfire in Himachal, it slit through our hearts. As a kid, I remember being tormented for days.”

Kangana in particular lauded Sidharth for his portrayal of the Param Vir Chakra awardee and wrote, “What a glorious tribute @sidmalhotra. Congratulations to entire team. It was a big responsibility and you all excelled.”

While Sidharth played Captain Batra and his brother Vishal Batra in the film, Kiara Advani starred as Dimple Cheema, the war hero’s girlfriend. The film has been praised by several other celebrities including Kamal Hassan who only few days ago tweeted showering love on the film.
