About Sky Force

Sky Force, produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik under Maddock Films and Jyoti Deshpande under Jio Studios, is based on India's attack on Pakistan's Sargodha airbase in the Indo-Pakistani air war of 1965. The film was officially announced in 2023 and went on floors the same year. Shooting wrapped up by 2024.

Talking to ANI about the film, Veer, who debuted with it, said, “I think it is a very personal story. It is a very human story. And it is about family. It is about brotherhood. It is about friendship and loyalty. So, that is why I urge everyone to watch this film to learn something new. This is a very serious character ,” referring to his role based on the late Squadron Leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya.

Akshay spoke to HT City about doing patriotic films and said, “I’m so lucky that I get a chance to play so many characters. God has been so kind, I got to play Lord Krishna and Lord Shiva... What else can I ask for? If I’m getting such a lovely opportunity, you think I should give it a miss because some people say, ‘Aap deshbakhti ki film kyon karte ho?’ Kyon na kare!”
