Balwinder Singh's Character from 21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897 is close to my heart.

21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897 is a fiction show inspired by the 21 Sikh soldiers who fought against 10,000 Afghani tribesmen on September 12, 1897, in what came to be known as the Battle of Saragarhi. The soldiers, part of the 36th Sikh Regiment of the Bengal Infantry, valiantly defended the Saragarhi outpost in the hills of the North-West Frontier Province (now in Pakistan) despite being up against overwhelming numbers.

With a turban and the army uniform, Vikram steps into the shoes of the late and great Balwinder Singh with grace and class.

Talking about his Character which is complete opposite says, "Balwinder is very Arrogant and Self Centered, who belongs to a Landlord Family and later joints Army. This is one in a life time experience as be a part of such a great story which has been forgotten. After Hanuman, Balwinder Singh is the character which is close to my heart. And Contiloe Pictures being the home ground makes it even more easier. It feels great to work with such a lovely Team : Director Raj Aacharya, DOP Mr. Basu, Mohit Raina, and Mukul Dev.

Vikram Sharma is all geared up for his next show titled 21 Sarfarosh: Saragarhi 1897, the show will air on Discovery Jeet and will see him play the role of Balwinder Singh.

Three movies based on the battle have also been announced - a Karan Johar production titled Kesari starring Akshay Kumar, another directed by Rajkumar Santoshi with Randeep Hooda in the lead and a third, produced by Ajay Devgn.
