Sidharth Malhotra on Yodha

Sidharth Malhotra stars in Yodha as an off-duty soldier abroad a terrorist-hijacked passenger plane. While the engine stops working, he plans to beat the hijackers and keep passengers safe. Recently, he visited Delhi to promote the film. At the event, he said, as quoted by news agency ANI, “Yodha is a completely fictitious story. We have created a new task force – Yodha. So when you create something from zero, then you can take a lot of liberties. We have done many variations in the film and also the action I got to perform is very different from Shershaah. Here I am more energetic, and lean, and use different sorts of weapons. It is a far more commercial and entertaining film. I think it has got my best of action sequences that I have done in last decade or so.”

The high-octane film is produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Apoorva Mehta, and Shashank Khaitan.
