Mumbai:
The excitement surrounding one of the most anticipated biographical dramas of 2025, Kesari Veer: Legends of Somnath, has intensified with the release of Suniel Shetty’s powerful first look from the film.
The newly unveiled poster showcases Shetty as the fearless warrior Vegda Ji, clad in rugged battle attire and brandishing a bloodied axe. His intense expression and commanding presence set the tone for an epic saga. The visual is set against the majestic backdrop of Gujarat’s historic Somnath temple, hinting at high-stakes battle scenes that form the heart of the film.
Directed by Kanu Chauhan and produced under the Chauhan Studios banner, Kesari Veer promises a stirring portrayal of valor and sacrifice. Suniel Shetty's portrayal is further heightened by a compelling background score that underscores the heroic struggle to defend the sacred temple from invaders.
Joining Shetty in the film, Sooraj Pancholi plays the role of Veer Hamirji Gohil, a young Rajput prince and unsung hero, while Vivek Oberoi appears as the menacing antagonist, Zafar. Debutante Akanksha Sharma adds a romantic touch to the narrative, starring opposite Pancholi.
Sharing his experience, Sooraj Pancholi expressed deep admiration for Suniel Shetty, stating, “I’ve always looked up to Suniel Sir as a screen idol, and working with him on Kesari Veer was a dream come true. He’s not only an exceptional actor but also an inspiring mentor who has guided me throughout my career.”
Recalling the intense fight sequences, Pancholi added, “It was surreal to be fighting THE Suniel Shetty! I was overwhelmed but amazed by his remarkable strength and agility. He is truly one of the finest actors and guides in the industry.”
Kesari Veer: Legends of Somnath is set for a grand release worldwide on May 16, 2025.
