What is ‘Kesari Veer’ all about?

Directed by Prince Dhiman and produced by seasoned filmmaker Kanu Chauhan, ‘Kesari Veer’ brings to life an emotionally charged tale inspired by real events. The story revolves around the brave, forgotten warriors who fought valiantly in the 14th century to defend the Somnath Temple from invading forces.

Both the director and producer have a personal connection to the film. In a statement, Kanu Chauhan shared that this project stems from his heartfelt desire to spotlight this overlooked chapter of Indian history.

Prince Dhiman echoed that sentiment, saying the film’s narrative moved him deeply and inspired him to dive into extensive research to do justice to the historical context.

While Suniel Shetty leads the charge in this historical drama, he won’t be going into battle alone. The film also stars Sooraj Pancholi and Vivek Oberoi in pivotal roles.

The trio brings a mix of veteran gravitas and fresh energy to the screen, promising a performance-heavy experience rooted in bravery, sacrifice, and patriotism.

### Suniel Shetty’s Busy Year

Besides this historical epic, he’s appearing in ‘The Legend of Somnath’, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ (yes, another fun franchise flick!), ‘Nanda Devi’, a show backed by Lionsgate; and ‘Hunter 3’, the next installment of the gritty action series.

Clearly, the actor is blending genres this year—shifting from intense history-based storytelling to jungle comedies and high-octane thrillers.
