Earlier during an interaction with IANS, while talking about Shershaah, Sidharth had said, "If it is a story which will become a passion project then (he will produce the film), not from a commercial aspect... a story which I feel has to be made and should be made. It will be great to create content and tell stories which I believe in."
The tagline of the film is "The soldier who left no stone unturned, to display an act of unparalleled courage leading at the frontline armed with his valour and pride, lives on in the heart of every Indian."
This is the first outing of Sidharth and Kiara on the big screen.
