Akshay Kumar Sky Force to Release on 24 January: Why It Is a High-Stake Movie for All Involved
Hyderabad: Upcoming Action Drama Sky Force Set for January 24, 2025 Release Amid High Stakes: The highly anticipated action drama Sky Force is set to release on January 24, 2025. Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, the film is inspired by India’s historic airstrike on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase during the 1965 India-Pakistan war, marking the country’s first retaliatory airstrike. The movie stars Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan, debutant Veer Pahariya, and Nimrat Kaur, and has already generated considerable buzz.
The plot follows Wing Commander K.O. Ahuja (Akshay Kumar) and T. Vijaya (Veer Pahariya), with Sara Ali Khan portraying Vijaya’s wife and Nimrat Kaur playing Ahuja’s partner. While the premise of Sky Force holds great potential, the film’s success is especially significant for the careers of the lead actors involved.
Akshay Kumar’s Crucial Career Moment
Akshay Kumar, once known for his consistent box-office success, has recently struggled with a series of underperforming films. Titles such as Raksha Bandhan, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Sarfira, and Selfiee failed to make a significant impact at the box office, leading to doubts about his status as a commercial draw. With his reputation on the line, Sky Force presents an important opportunity for Akshay to revive his career and restore his position in Bollywood.
Veer Pahariya’s Star Debut
Sky Force also marks the debut of Veer Pahariya, the son of businessman Sanjay Pahadia and grandson of former Maharashtra Chief Minister Sushilkumar Shinde. While Veer has previously worked as an assistant director and even as Varun Dhawan’s body double for Bhediya, this marks his first major on-screen role. Given his prominent background, expectations are high for his debut, and industry insiders and fans alike will be closely watching his performance.

Sara Ali Khan’s First Major Theatrical Release in a While
Sara Ali Khan, a key part of Sky Force, has had a mixed career trajectory. After a promising start with Kedarnath, she experienced several commercial disappointments with films such as Simmba, Love Aaj Kal, Coolie No. 1, and Atrangi Re. While her OTT projects like Gaslight and Murder Mubarak gained attention, her box-office appeal has been inconsistent. Sky Force will be her first major theatrical release in some time, and its success or failure could play a pivotal role in shaping her future in Bollywood.
Limited Release Window with Strong Competition
The release of Sky Force is scheduled to face stiff competition, with Game Changer, starring Ram Charan, already running in theaters. Additionally, Shahid Kapoor’s Deva is set to hit theaters on January 31. With these two major films attracting attention, Sky Force will have a narrow window to make a significant impact at the box office.
In summary, Sky Force is a high-stakes project for all involved. For Akshay Kumar and Sara Ali Khan, it offers a chance to bounce back from recent setbacks, while for Veer Pahariya, it’s an opportunity to make a lasting mark in the industry.
