The video begins with a speech of Muhammad Ayub Khan, President of Pakistan as a voiceover and the text reads ‘6th September 1965. India – Pakistan War’. Then, a clip of Lal Bahadur Shastri addressing his people. 

Sharing the video, he wrote, “Today on the day of Gandhi-Shastri Jayanti, the whole country is saying – Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan, Jai Science, Jai Research. No better day than today to announce the incredible story of #SkyForce: Our untold story of India’s first and deadliest airstrike.

One of the users wrote, “Can’t Wait?”

Khushi Kapoor reacted with clapping hands emojis for Veer Pahariya. 

2 October is the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi as well as the birth anniversary of our former PM Lal Bahadur Shastri and the film is set during his tenure.

‘SkyForce’ is an untold true story that captures the bravery, emotion, and patriotism of all those men in uniform involved in India’s first and deadliest airstrike against Pakistan, against all odds.

The film is directed by Sandeep Kelwani and Abhishek Kapur.

It is produced by Dinesh Vijan, Jyoti Deshpande and Amar Kaushik.
