Kareem found that a number students from the village are also attending computer classes in the town. In an interview with PTI, Srivastava said "Shershaah" gave him the opportunity to immortalise Captain Batra''s life on screen which went beyond his achievements as a man in uniform."I realised it is not just a story of a war hero, but there was a very sensitive (story) of a small town boy and the kind of episodes that happened in his life. Everybody I met had only good things to say about him, his energy. Then there was a love story. I realised I had an opportunity to not just talk about his war heroics but also the chance to write this exemplary love story which is rare to find," the writer said.Srivastava started working on the project in 2017, officially kicking it off on July 26, Kargil Vijay Diwas from Dras sector of Ladakh''s Kargil district along with producer Shabbir Boxwala and Captain Batra''s identical twin, Vishal Batra.He said his research was primarily divided into three sections - meeting officers who worked with the martyr, spending around 10 days with Captain Batra''s family in Palampur and then going to Chandigarh to meet Cheema, who chose to stay single after Batra''s death.Srivastava requested Vishal Batra that he wanted to speak with Cheema, who is a teacher by profession. | #[9748] # # Himachal Pradesh # Kangra # Dharamshala # Hotels in Palampur # palampurpanorama.com
