As anticipation builds, the makers have unveiled a striking new poster featuring Suniel Shetty in his most intense avatar yet. He takes on the role of Vegda Ji, a fearless warrior determined to protect the holy temple from looming invaders. With a bloodied axe in hand, clad in rugged traditional armor, and eyes blazing with defiance, Shetty’s look captures the gritty essence of a battle-hardened legend. The backdrop of the Somnath temple amidst a battlefield teeming with warriors sets the tone for an emotionally charged and action-packed cinematic experience.

The film pairs its rich visuals with a commanding background score that amplifies the drama and high stakes. While Suniel Shetty anchors the film with gravitas, Sooraj Pancholi steps into the shoes of Veer Hamirji Gohil, a young and unsung Rajput prince whose bravery forms the emotional core of the story. Vivek Oberoi takes on the mantle of Zafar, the film’s primary antagonist — a cunning invader who threatens the sanctity of Somnath. Adding a touch of romance and emotional resonance is Akanksha Sharma, who marks her debut with a pivotal role that complements Sooraj’s character.

Produced by Kanu Chauhan under the Chauhan Studios banner and distributed by Panorama Studios, Kesari Veer: Legends of Somnath is gearing up to storm theatres worldwide on May 16, 2025. The film blends history, heroism, and heart to deliver a compelling experience that promises to captivate audiences across generations.
