The montage video opens with the silhouette of a soldier and reveals a message, "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." 

Shershaah is directed by Vishnu Varadhan and is made under the banner of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The film stars Sidharth as the protagonist who will be seen essaying the role of Captain Batra, who laid down his life in the service of the nation while recapturing Indian territories from Pakistani invaders during the Kargil War of 1999.

Sidharth had also spoken about the film with IANS and 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."
