About Sky Force

Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, Sky Force tells the gripping story of India’s retaliatory strike on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase during the 1965 Indo-Pakistani air war. Nimrat Kaur and Sara Ali Khan are also a part of the film. Sky Force will be out in theatres on January 24.

Veer on the film

Recently, in an interview with ANI, Veer expressed his wish that his movie inspires the next generation just like Hrithik Roshan-starrer Lakshya movie did years ago.

“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.
