"We are really happy that our next, 'Shahid', is touching the heartstrings ofthe entire industry.

This is truly a warm gesture from him and we are proud of the film and the trailer and truly thankful to Aamir for having supported it.

"'Shahid' is surely a film to watch out for and with people like Aamir supporting the film, it will give the film that has been acclaimed the world over, the attention it thoroughly deserves," said Shikha Kapur, executive director, marketing, studios, Disney UTV.

Starring Raj Kumar, 'Shahid' is based on the true story of human rights activist and lawyer Shahid Azmi, who was killed in 2010 by unidentified assailants in his office.
