Kids these days are brutally honest and oblivious to everything. They are one of the most energetic and true-hearted audience one can ever have! I hope the movie has inspired them and made them understand of what it takes to serve the nation. It is very important to have the courage to fight for what’s ours and I am hoping that kids cultivate this notion.”

I am extremely glad that ‘Raatan Lambiyan’ was able to break through the clutter and win the most favourite song at Kids Choice Awards 2021. The fact that the song connected with adults and youth is a proof that music has no limits, borders, or ages and can connect with all kinds of audience.”
Commenting on his win, Sidharth Malhotra said, “I am extremely thrilled to have won the Powerhouse Performer of the year at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards 2021 for the movie Shershaah. It is important to have movies that showcase our real-life hero’s within the armed forces who have sacrificed their lives for our great nation and inspire and instil a sense of patriotism in kids. I hope that the journey of Captain Vikram Batra and other brave men like him enrich young minds and ignite pride for our nation.”
