Akshay Kumar's action drama Sky Force marks the debut of Veer Pahariya. The film was released during the Republic Day weekend on January 24, 2025.
A theatrical movie's OTT release typically falls within a 6 to 8-week window, making Sky Force's streaming debut perfectly timed. The film, which portrays India's first airstrike on Pakistan during the 1965 war, is set to premiere on Prime Video on March 21, 2025.
In the film, Veer is paired with his ex-girlfriend and actor Sara Ali Khan.
To tease the OTT release of Sky Force, Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya recreated the latter's viral langdi step in a fun Instagram video.
As soon as the video was shared, the comment section was flooded with hilarious reactions from fans.
A social media user joked, "No one gets talent ."
The next one said, "POV: Me after watching Sky Force for the 8th time ❤️."
The third one mentioned, "The collab we didn't know we needed."
The fourth one said, "Trolling is also publicity."
The story revolves around a Squadron Leader who goes missing after India's first airstrike on Pakistan's Sargodha airbase.
Veer Pahariya's langdi hook step from the film's song Rang became a viral sensation, sparking countless memes on social media. However, he took the trolling in stride and used the viral step to his advantage. Instead of shying away, Veer humorously incorporated it into promotional content, making the campaign go viral. He has now embraced the success and fame that followed.
