Sidharth Malhotra and team Shershaah get applauded by Lt. Gen (Retd) Syed Ata Hasnain; calls it a ‘well-researched army film’

Ever since the premiere of the much-awaited movie Shershaah last week, love and appreciation have been pouring in for Sidharth Malhotra, Kiara Advani and the rest of the team. Today, Lt. Gen (Retd) Syed Ata Hasnain who commanded the Indian Army’s 15 Army Corps in Kashmir praised Shershaah for its detailed research – from capturing authentic locations to depicting army ethics and behaviour.

In a live chat with actor Sidharth Malhotra, Lt Gen. said, “The scenes that the film has shown of the Kashmir valley are very authentic. I have lived half my life there, but I’ve never seen such authentic scenes been captured. Simple things like army officers not revealing their sources have stood out in the film.” He further added, “Some of the scenes that show the human aspect of a soldier are captured well. I hope that Shershaah sets a benchmark for other Bollywood films to make well-researched army films in the future.”
