Sandeep Kewlani Speaks Up On Veer’s Performance 

Sandeep Kewlani shared, ‘Veer deeply connected with the emotional depth of the story. He surrendered himself to the role for two years. We wanted a fresh face for Tabby, free from previous screen baggage. Veer resembled Devayya in personality, quiet, mysterious, and patriotic. Today, Veer is known widely as Tabby.’

He added, ‘Veer came through auditions. We considered many names while searching for a new face. Veer was an assistant on Bhediya. Upon meeting him, we felt he was a perfect fit for Devayya’s character.’ At times when newcomers often hesitate to pick unconventional and unpredictable roles, Veer shattered the wall and delivered a promising performance.

Within his first film, he showcased an exceptional emotional graph. Veer proved his potential, showcasing vulnerability and patriotism; Sky Force was his perfect launchpad. After giving a glimpse of his calibre, Veer Pahariya has a few interesting projects in the pipeline, and a few musical treats too!
