Actor Sooraj Pancholi is set to make a powerful on-screen appearance alongside Bollywood veteran Suniel Shetty in the highly anticipated historical biopic, ‘Kesari Veer: Legends Of Somnath’. This marks the first collaboration between the two actors, bringing an intense and action-packed narrative to life.

As the film gears up for its grand release on May 16, 2025, Pancholi opened up about his experience working with Shetty. Reflecting on their bond, he shared, “I’ve always looked up to Suniel Sir as a screen idol, and to have had the opportunity to work 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.”

Action-Packed Fight Sequences with a Bollywood Icon


Discussing the film’s high-octane action scenes, Pancholi revealed, “It was surreal to be fighting THE Suniel Shetty! I was overwhelmed, but at the same time, I was shocked by his remarkable strength and agility. He’s truly one of the best in the industry. He’s an exceptional guide, and I will always look up to him.”

In the film, Suniel Shetty takes on the role of Vegda, a fearless warrior, while Sooraj Pancholi portrays the unsung hero Veer Hamirji Gohil, a brave chieftain who fought valiantly to protect the Somnath Temple. Vivek Oberoi joins the cast as the menacing antagonist Zafar, adding another layer of intensity to the period drama. The film also introduces Akanksha Sharma, who shares a romantic storyline with Pancholi.

Pancholi’s Intense Physical Transformation for the Role


To authentically embody his character, Pancholi underwent a rigorous physical transformation. His preparation included:

Archery and sword fighting training to master combat techniques.

Endurance drills to improve stamina for action sequences.

Horseback riding and hand-to-hand combat training under expert instructors.

His commitment to the role reflects the dedication required to portray a 14th-century warrior determined to protect one of India’s most sacred landmarks.
