​By a Staff Reporter: Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who portrayed the role of Captain Vikram Batra in his latest movie Shershaah, has spoken about the reaction the Param Vir Chakra awardee's family, after they watched the film. A special screening of the film took place in Delhi where the family and Sidharth were present.In an interview, Sidharth Malhotra shared that Vishal Batra, Captain Vikram Batra’s twin, said that he never saw the soldier while he was on duty. But after watching the film, when he will think about Sidharth.Speaking with media, Sidharth recalled Vishal's reaction, "'You know Sid I've only seen him (Vikram Batra) off duty and whenever he came back from duty. I've never seen him in action, and now, whenever I think of him (Vikram Batra) during the war, I'll get your visions'. These are such genuine emotions. I was so happy... Anyone will be so happy that they are contributing to someone's legacy." Sidharth added, “It was incredible to just spend time with them afterwards. Obviously, it was a very difficult watch for them. Teary eyes, and a lot of emotions floating everywhere. But a couple of things as an actor you feel so happy . I met the youngest generation of their family, who are all in their early 20s. And they all said that we've not known Chachu (referring to Captain Vikram Batra). We've not seen him, and we've heard stories, but we never had the visuals to the details of whatever he must have gone through. I was just filled with gratitude."
