Akanksha’s transformation into Rajal is nothing short of remarkable. From her physicality to her emotional gravitas, the poster makes it clear—this isn’t just a debut, it’s a statement.

Joining her in this grand saga is veteran actor Suniel Shetty, who appears as the indomitable Vegda Ji. Rugged and intense, he wields a bloodied axe with commanding ferocity in a battle scene set against the majestic Somnath temple.

The ensemble cast also includes Sooraj Pancholi as Veer Hamirji Gohil, a young Rajput prince and unsung hero, and Vivek Oberoi as the menacing antagonist Zafar.

Speaking about his experience, Sooraj shared his admiration for Suniel, saying, "I've always looked up to Suniel Sir as a screen idol. Working alongside him in Kesari Veer was a dream come true. He’s not just a brilliant actor, but also a mentor who’s guided me with genuine warmth and support."

Produced by Kanu Chauhan under the Chauhan Studios banner, Kesari Veer aims to transport audiences into a world of valor, sacrifice, and forgotten legends.
