Sharing his experience of playing a war hero in his debut movie, Veer stated that it was a very big responsibility. He further divulged that very little has been written about the 1965 war and its heroes. “But the moment I wore the uniform, ek shakti aa jati hai apne andar toh (an energy comes within us) that does 50% of the job, you start sitting straight, your body language gets better.”
Pahariya also revealed meeting the families of the war veterans and being blessed by them. “They are very happy with the film and they’re very proud that we have shown them in the best way possible and immortalized their legacy. So, that is the biggest validation, the boost, and the confidence before the release of the film. So, we’re very grateful for that,” the upcoming actor concluded.
In the same chat, Veer also shared the advice he took from Khiladi Kumar. Pahariya opined, “With the good fortune that I spent a lot of time with Akshay sir, I used to take a lot of advice from him. Sir said, ‘Don’t worry about anything else, you focus on your work and keep working.’ That has been my takeaway from him.”
