He died on July 7, 1999 fighting Pakistani forces during the war at 24. He was given the highest wartime gallantry award Param Vir Chakra’ posthumously, reported PTI. At the 69th National Film Awards, Shershaah won the Special Jury Award (Feature Film).

Shershaah played a pivotal role in Sidharth Malhotra’s career.  The actor received praise from critics and audience alike for his powerful performance in the film. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote, “Lead actor Sidharth Malhotra has what it takes to flesh out a real-life martyr who has left behind a larger-than-life aura, but the evolution of the character’s tough-as-nails personality that lies at the base of his battlefield derring-do is delivered in the form of shallow, trite driblets.”

The film was directed by Vishnuvardan  and it featured Kiara Advani, Shiv Panditt, Raj Arjun, Pranay Pachauri, Himanshu Ashok Malhotra, Nikitin Dheer, Anil Charanjeett, Sahil Vaid, Shataf Figar and Pawan Chopra.
