January 23, 2025: Veer Pahariya’s visit to the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain ahead of his Skyforce release shows his deep reverence and personal connection to the journey he’s about to embark on with his debut film.
His spiritual experience, particularly feeling as though Lord Shiva was calling him, adds a layer of emotion and sincerity to his preparations. It’s clear that Pahariya is approaching this role with a lot of respect, and his desire for blessings before stepping into such a pivotal role is quite relatable.
Skyforce itself sounds like a powerful and important project, focusing on the real-life heroism of Squadron Leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya during the 1965 India-Pakistan war. The fact that Veer is playing a character based on such a significant historical figure speaks volumes about the weight of this role. His aspiration for the film to inspire the next generation in the same way Lakshya did is admirable. Both Skyforce and Lakshya seem to share that essence of valor and patriotism, and it’s great to see Veer carrying that torch forward.
With a star-studded cast, including Akshay Kumar, Nimrat Kaur, and Sara Ali Khan, and the involvement of Defence Minister Rajnath Singh and CDS General Anil Chauhan, Skyforce already has a strong presence behind it. Do you think this film could have a lasting impact on the younger generation, as Veer hopes? How do you feel about the connection between films like Lakshya and Skyforce in terms of inspiring national pride?
