And if that wasn’t enough, on Thursday, a new offer was floated on BookMyShow that allowed fans to book tickets at ₹250 off with the code SKYFORCE250 for the opening weekend. Most people booking tickets realised they only had to pay the platform convenience fees, rendering it almost ‘free’.

Veer Pahariya on his debut

Veer spoke to ANI about his debut and said, “Working on my first film, Sky Force, was rather overwhelming. It is a huge opportunity and a responsibility for me to play a real-life hero, squadron leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya, who was one of the heroes of the 1965 India-Pakistan war, which we won against overwhelming odds...this story needs to be told for the future generations to get inspired by what our heroes of our country have done for our freedom.”
