Veer Pahariya recently made his acting debut with Sky Force, co-starring Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrit Kaur. He has been getting rave reviews for his role as Squadron Leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya. Amid this, the rising star expressed his wish to play grey characters and reviewed grey-shade roles like Allu Arjun in Pushpa, Shah Rukh Khan in Don, and Yash in KGF.
In a recent interview with India Today, Veer Pahariya expressed his desire to explore negative characters. He said that more than outright negative roles, he would love to play a character with grey shades. "Even Tabby (his character in Sky Force) had a bit of a rebellious, grey area to him, which added depth. I think such roles bring something new to the table and character depth, which will be exciting to explore,” Veer said.
Reviewing popular grey characters, Veer further added, 'Allu Arjun in Pushpa, Yash as Rocky Bhai in KGF, Shah Rukh Khan in Don, or Ranbir Kapoor’s Ranvijay Balbir in Animal—these characters have grey shades that feel more human. That’s who we are, and I’d love to explore that on screen.”
Amid receiving positive reviews for his Sky Force role, Veer opened up about his perspective on success. He said that success for him is touching hearts and putting a smile on someone's face. He believes it is having empathy and being sensitive to other people's feelings, not becoming a narcissist, and giving yourself importance.
"Nobody is important in this world. You have come here for a definite period of time. You don't know when God is going to take that away from you. So, as long as you are here, as long as I keep you and other people happy, that's the purpose of life," said Veer.
Sky Force which was released in theaters on January 24, 2025, earned Rs. 82.54 crore after 6 days. The film is centered around India's first airstrike, the Sargodha airbase attack on Pakistan in the Indo-Pakistani air war of 1965.
