“Working on my first film, Sky Force, was rather overwhelming. It is a huge opportunity and a responsibility for me to play a real life hero, squadron leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya, who was one of the heroes of the 1965 India-Pakistan war, which we won against overwhelming odds…this story needs to be told for the future generations to get inspired by what our heroes of our country have done for our freedom,” Veer shared.
The actor further said the movie is about family, brotherhood, friendship and loyalty, while urging people to watch this and get to learn something new.
“I think it is a very personal story. It is a very human story. And it is about family. It is about brotherhood. It is about friendship and loyalty. So, that is why I urge everyone to watch this film to learn something new. This is a very serious character. And my only wish is that it works like Lakshya film…when that movie came, it inspired people for 20 years to join the force and serve the country. Who Is Veer Pahariya?
