The creators of the highly anticipated biographical drama of 2025, ‘Kesari Veer: Legends of Somnath,’ have heightened excitement by unveiling the thrilling first look of Suniel Shetty in the film. The striking new poster showcases Shetty as the valiant warrior Vegda Ji, dressed in a rugged outfit and brandishing a bloodied axe, radiating intensity with a fierce expression.
The image depicts a dramatic battle scene, featuring warriors across the field, with the iconic Somnath temple in Gujarat as the backdrop. Shetty’s compelling performance is further enhanced by a powerful musical score, setting the tone for an epic confrontation to defend the sacred temple from invaders. In this portrayal of the indomitable Vegda Ji, Sooraj Pancholi takes on the role of the unsung hero and young Rajput prince, Veer Hamirji Gohil. Vivek Oberoi plays the role of the formidable antagonist, Zafar, while debutante Akanksha Sharma brings an emotional depth to the narrative through her romantic storyline with Pancholi’s character.
Reflecting on his relationship with Shetty, Pancholi expressed gratitude for his support and friendship both on and off the screen, stating, ‘I have always admired Suniel Sir as a screen idol, and working with him on Kesari Veer has been a dream realized. He is not only a remarkable actor but also an inspiring mentor who has guided me throughout my career.’ Discussing the on-screen combat scenes, Pancholi remarked, ‘It was surreal to be fighting THE Suniel Shetty! I was both overwhelmed and astonished by his incredible strength and agility. He is truly one of the best in the industry and an exceptional mentor whom I will always respect.’ Produced by Kanu Chauhan under the Chauhan Studios banner, ‘Kesari Veer’ is scheduled to enthrall audiences worldwide on May 16.
