The age of biopics is upon us with actors like Aamir Khan,
Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra essaying the roles of iconic real-life people.
Joining the list is now Sidharth Malhotra who has reportedly
signed his next which is a biopic based on Kargil Martyr, Captain Vikram Batra,
according to a leading daily. Nicknamed as Sher Shah, Captain Batra's story is
heroic, brave and compelling.
Sidharth was in talks for the biopic for quite some time. A
source revealed to the daily, "He loves the script and feels that Vikram’s
is a heroic story that needs to be told. Whatever happens, it will be him, who
plays the role. He’s tight-lipped about the project for now, but he has given
it the green signal."
As Sidharth's grandfather has an army background, "he
understands the space and the emotions attached to it. He’s done his research
on Batra and is raring to go," the source stated.
"Sidharth has been offered biopics, but he was keen on
doing an inspirational story — and what better than one on Captain Vikram
Batra’s life! Aiyaary is based on real incidents, but this will be a proper
biography on screen — Sid’s first."
As Sidharth essayeda double role in A Gentleman, Sid will be
seen in a double role for the biopic as well. Captain Batra had an identical
twin brother, Vishal, which will be played by Sidharth as well.
Earlier, in an interview, when we asked on
whom would Sidharth love to star as in a biopic, the actor disclosed,
"There are loads. There so many more personalities that we know and don't
know about. There are actually, a couple of scripts in the working before I
take the name and disclose it. I think once they are confirmed, I will announce
them. That is something I would really be interested in portraying a character
or a story which is actually happened."
