A rough translation of Sidharth's note reads, "Life gives an artist very few opportunities to play a character which is immortal, much like the sun in the sky. This may be a coincidence or just my good luck that I got this beautiful opportunity with Shershaah. Living the role of 'Captain Vikram Batra' has brought me closer to living life. His nuances, his courage, his patriotism, his passion, everything brought me closer to him and that is how Shershaah was presented to the audiences. 2 years ago, on this very day, you accepted 'Shershaah' as your own and whenever this date rolls in, my heart just says one thing -'this heart wants more."
