Bijay Anand is drawing praises for his role as Kiara Advani's father in 'Shershaah'

A charismatic storehouse of talent, confidence and artistic abilities, Bijay Anand has proved himself as a brilliant actor in 'Shershaah' .

Soon after the release of Sidharth Malhotra starrer Shershaah, Bijay has been drawing appreciation from all quarters for his performance as a doting father to the character of Kiara Advani who doesn't approve of Siddharth Malhotra, a young jobless man without any ambition.

It is only when he goes to fight the war, Bijay’s character of a concerned and loving father approves of his daughters love interest.

He aced his mannerism, lingo and acting as a Sardar "I am honoured to represent this culture on screen. Being a Punjabi myself, it was easy for me to slip under the skin of a Sikh.”

Happy with the positive response, Bijay says "For any artist, be it a singer, painter or actor, applause and appreciation is always welcome though while performing, an actor's Karma is only to be authentic and true to his character."

Directed by Vishnu Varadhan and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, the film is based on the life of Captain Vikram Batra, who died in the Kargil War and was honoured with the Param Vir Chakra posthumously.
