Shershaah’s producer Shabir Boxwala has revealed that Salman approached him and suggested Aayush’s name. However, the producer had already suggested Siddharth’s name to Captain Batra’s family.

“Salman approached me when I was in conversation with Junglee Pictures. He wanted Shershaah to be Aayush’s (Sharma) first film, and wanted to partner with me in it. However, by then the family had ‘unanimously supported’ the idea of ​​Sidharth playing the role of the Param Vir Chakra awardee and a meeting had already been arranged between the actor and the family. It would have been highly immoral to leave him for any other actor. When Captain Batra’s family gave me the rights, it was a big moment for me. He showed great confidence in me, and I didn’t want to go wrong at any point. I explained it to Salman, who was understanding. Aayush was melodious and told the game that playing a double role in his debut film could be (a tall order),” Shabbir told Mid-Day.
