Rising star Veer Pahariya is making waves in Bollywood, and all eyes are on him as he gears up for his big-screen debut in the much-anticipated action drama Sky Force. In an exclusive conversation, Veer opens up about his journey into the film industry, the challenges of stepping into a lead role, and his deep-rooted passion for acting.
Stepping Into the Spotlight with Sky Force
Sky Force, a thrilling aerial action film set against the backdrop of India’s military aviation history, marks Veer’s first major film. Sharing screen space with Akshay Kumar, the film is not just a launchpad but a high-octane test of his skills as an actor.
“It’s a dream come true,” Veer says with excitement. “Working with Akshay sir is an honor. His discipline and dedication to the craft are truly inspiring. I’ve learned so much from him – both on and off the set.”
The film, directed by Abhishek Kapur, is inspired by true events, depicting India’s aerial supremacy during a critical wartime mission. Veer plays a young fighter pilot navigating both personal and professional battles, a role that demanded rigorous preparation.
Preparing for the Role
Veer reveals that he underwent intensive training, including flight simulations, physical conditioning, and military drills, to portray a pilot authentically. “The training was tough, but it made me respect our Air Force heroes even more. I wanted to ensure my performance did justice to their courage,” he explains.
From Political Legacy to Film Sets
Coming from a family with political and business roots, Veer’s entry into the entertainment industry may have raised eyebrows, but he is determined to carve his own path. “People often assume things because of my background, but acting has always been my passion. I wanted to prove to myself and others that I belong here,” he shares.
The Spark for Acting
Veer’s love for cinema began early. “I was that kid who would reenact movie scenes in front of the mirror,” he recalls with a smile. Influenced by icons like Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, he realized that storytelling and performing were what he was truly drawn to.
Balancing Pressure and Passion
Being a newcomer, especially with a high-profile debut, comes with immense pressure. Veer admits to feeling the weight of expectations but sees it as fuel to push himself harder.
“The pressure is real, but I focus on the work. I want audiences to see my effort and connect with my character. That’s my goal – to entertain and leave a mark,” he says.
Beyond Sky Force – What’s Next?
While Sky Force is generating buzz ahead of its release later this year, Veer is already exploring new scripts and opportunities. He hints at a romantic drama and a web series in the pipeline, showing his interest in versatile roles.
“I don’t want to be boxed into one genre. I’m here to experiment, learn, and grow as an actor,” he emphasizes.
Final Word: A Star in the Making
With Sky Force poised to take flight, Veer Pahariya’s journey is just beginning. His blend of humility, determination, and talent hints at a promising future in Bollywood.
“This is just the start. I’m here for the long haul,” he signs off with quiet confidence.
