Veer Pahariya’s story doesn’t exactly fit the cookie-cutter “star kid” mold. Honestly, you’d never guess how much grind went into this guy’s journey. Born and raised in Mumbai, Veer was hooked on performing from day one—think theatre, music, dance, the whole package. He hopped between Mumbai and Delhi, chasing any stage he could find before heading off to the US for more theatre studies. That’s not your average gap year. But the man didn’t stop there. London called, and Veer answered by dropping a Hindi pop music channel on YouTube. Not just singing—he wrote, composed, directed, acted, basically did everything but sell popcorn at the shows. And young folks? Ate it up. While most would’ve called it a day, Veer kept hustling, diving into more acting and theatre workshops, picking up all sorts of skills, and even auditioning without name-dropping. Mad respect. Then came the big break—Dinesh Vijan from Maddock Films spotted him and brought him on as an assistant director for “Bhediya.” Under Vijan’s wing, Veer wasn’t just running errands; he was sharpening his craft, learning the ropes from the inside. And after slugging it out in auditions, he finally snagged a lead opposite Akshay Kumar in “Sky Force,” a wild aerial action thriller. That’s almost a decade of sweat and late nights, all paying off. Not your typical overnight success story, right?
Sky Force drops you right into the chaos of the 1965 India-Pakistan war, where the Indian Air Force is staring down impossible odds. The film kicks off with a bang—literally—showing rookie pilots hustling to prove themselves while seasoned commanders juggle strategy and sheer survival. You’ve got planes roaring overhead, adrenaline-pumping dogfights, and a gritty look at the men who risk everything for their country. It’s not just about the action, though. There’s plenty of heart, brotherhood, and those moments of doubt that make the victories hit even harder. The movie goes heavy on the details, from cockpit tech to the emotional weight of orders that could mean life or death. Sky Force doesn’t let up, giving you both the spectacle and the human side behind the headlines. If you’re into high-stakes drama with a patriotic punch, this one’s not holding back.
