Actor Veer Pahariya, gearing up for his Bollywood debut alongside Akshay Kumar in the upcoming film Skyforce, visited the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain on Thursday to seek Lord Shiva’s blessings ahead of the film’s release. Veer, who plays a key role in the movie, arrived at the temple early in the morning and offered prashad and flower garlands at the Shivling. Speaking about his visit, he said, “It was joyful (visiting Mahakaleshwar Temple)… Yesterday, around 3:30 in the night, I felt as if Baba was calling me. So I came to the temple today. What can be bigger than getting his blessings before my biggest day (the release of my debut film Skyforce).”
Skyforce marks Veer Pahariya’s entry into Bollywood. Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, the film is inspired by the true events of the 1965 Indo-Pakistani War, highlighting India’s retaliatory strike on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase.
News18 Showsha gave the film 4 stars. An excerpt from the review read, “Veer delivers a very good performance and shines bright even as he shares screen space with an actor of the stature and calibre of Akshay. Sara Ali Khan, in her brief screen time, too, dishes out an impressive act. She downplays a helpless wife and manages to strike a chord to the best of her ability. Nimrat Kaur in a special appearance looks stunning but she doesn’t contribute much to the story. Soham Majumdar and Sharad Kelkar deserve a special mention.”
He recently opened up on working with Akshay Kumar. Veer said, “Akshay sir has given a chance to a lot of newcomers like myself. It is his secure nature that he let me share a poster with him. He has done this with so many actors over the years.”
Veer Pahariya is the son of business tycoon, Sanjay Pahadia and Sobo Films owner, Smriti Sanjay Shinde. He is also the brother of Shikhar Pahariya. Veer is the grandson of a famous political figure, Sushilkumar Shinde, the former CM of Maharashtra.
