<p>Actor Sidharth Malhotra, who is going to essay Captain Vikram Batra in a film, says he is nervous about playing the Kargil martyr on the big screen.<br />
<br />
&quot;Movies have a great impact, they live for long. There is a pressure of living up to the idea of what their son has done. That is why we are taking more time to start the film.<br />
<br />
&quot;We want to work properly on the story. It is not a fictitious story that I want to jump into it. I hope whenever the film comes out the family is happy and proud,&quot; Sidharth told PTI.<br />
<br />
Although nervous, the actor is excited to star in his first biopic, in which has a double role where he will portray both Vikram and his twin, Vishal.<br />
<br />
&quot;This is my first biopic and I am super excited for it. He has a brother but the film is predominately about Captain Vikram. We are planning how to cleverly deal with it (double roles). He impacted so many people in the Army.<br />
<br />
&quot;I won&#39;t say he is a personality that everybody knows but I felt it was a story that needed to be told. I found his story fascinating,&quot; the actor says.<br />
<br />
Sidharth says the shoot for the film is expected to begin this summer.<br />
<br />
&quot;I have started training in a way by going to border areas, meeting BSF jawans, seeing their lifestyle, discipline and training. So in my own head the little bit of homework has started by observing people.&quot;<br />
<br />
The actor&#39;s other film, <em>Aashiqui 3</em>, is currently in the scripting stage.<br />
<br />
&quot;Of course, we all are on board. It is taking time from a writing point of view, the director and producer have to agree on the script. It is a mystery for me as well. It will be a great thing to be working on this film. I have never worked with Bhatts so looking forward to this.&quot;<br />
<br />
Sidharth will star opposite Alia Bhatt in the forthcoming movie.<br />
<br />
The actor&#39;s name has cropped up for the remake of David Dhawan&#39;s 1998 hit film <em>Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.</em><br />
<br />
This film will be remade by producer Jacky Bhagnani and reportedly it will also star Akshay Kumar.</p>

<p>&quot;This is news to me,&quot; the actor says when asked about reports.<br />
<br />
&quot;Nobody has come to me, no one has approached me. I have no clue. Akshay and I are the same height. So it will be &#39;<em>Bade Miyan Bade Miyan</em>&#39;.&quot;</p>
