Sky Force trailer unveils Akshay Kumar leading India's first deadly airstrike in 1965, with debutant Veer Pahariya missing in action.
The trailer for Sky Force, starring Akshay Kumar and debutant Veer Pahariya, was unveiled at an event in Mumbai on Sunday. The film, directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur, focuses on India’s first and deadliest airstrike during the 1965 India-Pakistan War.
Akshay Kumar plays an Indian Air Force officer leading the mission, described in the trailer as one of the country’s deadliest operations. The story takes a dramatic turn when Veer Pahariya’s character goes missing during the strike. Kumar’s character believes Veer is stranded in Pakistan, though efforts to locate him appear unsuccessful.
Sara Ali Khan portrays Veer’s love interest, while Nimrat Kaur and Sharad Kelkar are seen in supporting roles.
The film’s trailer, shared on social media by Kumar, was accompanied by the description: “This Republic Day, witness the untold story of a heroic sacrifice – the tale of India’s first and deadliest airstrike.” Fans have responded positively, praising the depiction of military life and the performances hinted at in the preview.
Produced by Dinesh Vijan, Amar Kaushik, and Jyoti Deshpande, Sky Force is scheduled to release globally on January 24, 2025, just ahead of Republic Day.
