Vishnuvardhan, the director of Shershaah, has spoken out about Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra’s rumored romance and whether it influenced their performances in the film.

Kiara Advani said she could relate to her Shershaah character’s ‘commitment to love’ when asked about her relationship with reported lover Sidharth Malhotra.

In an interview, Kiara Advani, who plays Captain Vikram Batra’s adored Dimple Cheema in the upcoming war drama, remarked, ” For me also, my reason for marriage will always be love.”

Asked about her bond with Sidharth Malhotra ‘as a co-star and as a friend’, she told a leading daily, “As a co-star, he’s extremely driven and focused. He loves to prep a lot, and do a lot of reading. That’s very similar to the way I like to work on a film. So in that sense we got along very well, with Vishnu sir and Sandeep sir, the writer. There were a lot of readings and prepping, and getting the nuances of both the people we were playing correct.”

She continued, “As a friend, I’d say he’s one of my closest friends in the industry. Through the film… As a friend, he’s full of life, and fun to be around.”
