Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani starrer ‘Shershaah’ touched hearts and made people teary with the brave story of Captain Vikram Batra. Months after its OTT release, the film has landed in trouble for using a car number plate belonging to someone else. Faraz Ashraf, a Kashmiri journalist, has reportedly stated that his life is in danger since the makers of ‘Shershaah’ have used the license plate of his car and depicted it as a vehicle driven by militants. He shared pictures of his car and the one used in the movie bearing the same number plate and claimed that this is a threat to him and his family.

“It is a threat to me and my family. I cannot travel in the car as feel safety concerns now due to the move. I have not given any permission to any production house to use the regd no. of my car. I now decided to fight against the @DharmaMovies @DharmaTwoPointO to stop the broadcast of movie in entire country. As they have copied my car regd no. and used in the movie. I am filing a case against the production house,” the journalist shared on Twitter. ‘Shershaah’ is directed by Vishnuvardhan and is backed by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. The film narrated the brave story of Captain Vikram Batra PVC.

Kiara Advani, who essayed the role of Vikram Batra’s love Dimple Cheema in the war drama, had revealed that she had met Dimple before starting the film. Speaking about their meeting, Kiara had shared, “She gave me an insight into her mind and her heart which then helped me emote better on screen. It was Vishal Batra, Captain Vikram Batra’s twin brother, who helped us meet each other. I wanted to understand her closely and emulate her as close to reality as I could. We incorporated Punjabi dialogues because she is from Punjab. It was an overwhelming and emotional experience for me to play Dimple.”
