Today, Sooraj Pancholi marked his much-awaited return to the silver screens with Kesari Veer, an anticipated historical war drama. Extending support to his promising return, Salman Khan took to his social media handle to give a shoutout to the Hero actor. He shared a montage-style video featuring throwback images of himself with Sooraj Pancholi, set with 'Hero' song Main Hoon Hero Tera, which was also sung by Salman Khan.
"Abhi raat hai, subah Sooraj chamkega @soorajpancholi," Salman captioned the post. In response, Sooraj replied, "love u sir!!!!"
Marking a significant return, Sooraj Pancholi stepped into an uncharted territory of a war spectacle. The film features him as an unsung warrior Hamirji Gohil, which showcases the bravery and valour of a Rajput prince. The story revolves around the battle of Somnath temple, wherein warriors fought valiantly and sacrificed their lives to protect the Somnath temple from invading forces.
Marking a significant point in his flourishing career, Sooraj Pancholi shares the screen space for the first time with Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi and Akanksha Sharma. With Kesari Veer, he has not only shattered the image of a loverboy, but has entered a new zone of a historical character. Adding a promising tangent to his career arc, Sooraj has proven his range as an actor by pulling off a complex role that demanded physical and emotional depth. Directed by Prince Dhiman, Kesari Veer has landed in the theatres and makes for a must-watch to witness a page from India's history.
