The project has been directed by Prince Dhiman and written by Kanu Chauhan and Shitiz Srivastava. The historical drama also features Suniel Shetty and Akanksha Sharma in pivotal roles.
At the trailer launch event of Kesari Veer: Legend of Somnath, an emotional Sooraj was seen in tears as he expressed heartfelt gratitude to the makers for believing in him and offering him another chance in the industry.
In a video shared on Instagram, Sooraj Pancholi can be heard saying, 'Thank you, Kanu sir, for giving me a chance. Uh, thank you."

At the same event, Suniel Shetty praised Sooraj Pancholi for his dedication and hard work in Kesari Veer: Legend of Somnath.
The actor said, 'He (Sooraj) has seen a lot. Now, he's got this second chance. Trust me, this is an opportunity the Almighty has given, that Mahadev (Lord Shiva) has given. You'll see it in the film that he's unbelievably good! Every time I see him on screen, it's like I'm watching Ahan. That's the kind of effort he's put in. And the same kind of love," as quoted by News18.
FYI: Sooraj Pancholi was accused by Jiah Khan's family of being involved in her tragic death. Jiah died by suicide in 2013. However, in 2023, a CBI court in Mumbai cleared him of all abetment charges and declared him not guilty.
Coming back to Kesari Veer: Legend of Somnath, the film will hit cinema screens on March 14.

Bigg Boss OTT 3 Winner Sana Makbul Hospitalised Due To Grave Condition; Friend Shares Crucial Update
New Delhi: Actress and reality TV star Sana Makbul, winner of Bigg Boss OTT 3, has been hospitalised due to a serious health issue, according to a statement by her close friend Aashna Kanchwala on social media. While the exact nature of her condition has not been disclosed, Kanchwala described it as a 'grave condition' in an Instagram Story. Sharing her support, Aashna wrote: "My strongest Diva, I'm so proud of you for showing so much strength and resilience as you battle such a grave condition. Inshallah, you will fight this and come out even stronger... Allah is with you. And I am always standing by you. Get well soon my love @divasana." According to a report by The Times of India, Sana has been battling autoimmune complications for some time now, which may have led to her sudden hospitalisation. Meanwhile, in a podcast with Comedian Bharti Singh, Sana previously revealed that she has been dealing with autoimmune hepatitis, a condition in which her body's immune cells attack her liver. She stated, 'I have turned vegan recently due to health reasons... a lot of people don't know that I am an autoimmune hepatitis patient. I have a liver disease, it was diagnosed in 2020. It has no specific symptoms... in this, my body cells are attacking the organ, so in my case, it's sometimes Lupus; it hits your kidneys or causes arthritis. Samantha Ruth Prabhu has myositis, which is a muscle condition. I have it with the liver.' Despite her current health scare, the actress appeared in good spirits recently, having posted Eid greetings and pictures with her family on Instagram just a day ago, celebrating the occasion with her loved ones. Sana Makbul, born on 13 June 1993 in Mumbai, rose to fame with her role as Lavanya in Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon?. She made her Telugu film debut with Dikkulu Choodaku Ramayya and appeared in the Tamil film Rangoon. She reached the semi-finals of Khatron Ke Khiladi 11 in 2021 and most recently gained widespread attention after winning Bigg Boss OTT 3 in 2024. Fans continue to await an official update from her team regarding her health.

Chris Pratt has taken his dedication to his craft to new heights with his latest transformation for season 2 of Amazon's The Terminal List. (Also Read: Chris Pratt: Oscar for best song going to an Indian film reflects breaking down of borders) The actor showcased his new look on Instagram, featuring a scraggly beard, moustache, and long brown hair. Pratt joked about the challenges of wearing a fake moustache and beard, and said, "The crazy thing about wearing a fake moustache or a fake beard is when you eat, you get hair in your mouth, which is gross because it's definitely someone else's hair." He even poked fun at his own appearance, captioning the post, "Is it? No... can't be," referencing his questionable moustache hair. A post shared by Chris Pratt (@prattprattpratt) Fans took to the comments section to share their thoughts on Pratt's new look, with some expressing surprise and amusement. One commenter wrote, "Dude, looking rough," while another joked, "Castaway 2: Wilson's Revenge." Another comment read, 'Has anyone ever told you you look a lot like Chris Pratt?' Another wrote, 'Bro still looks majestic with all the scruffy beard and hair.' Some fans compared him to a homeless man and wrote, 'I saw that guy this morning under a bridge in Seattle!', but friends like David Harris showed their support, with Metcalfe commenting, "Can't wait, brother!". The Terminal List is a thriller series based on the book of the same name by Jack Carr, where Pratt plays US Navy SEAL James Reece seeking revenge for the murder of his family. This isn't Pratt's first dramatic transformation; he previously lost 80 pounds and gained 20 pounds of muscle for his role in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy in 2014. (ANI)
