Suniel Shetty's Kesari Veer Release Postponed, New Date Announced
Mumbai: Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, and Sooraj Pancholi starrer "Kesari Veer: Legends of Somnath" has been creating a strong buzz since the release of its trailer. However, movie buffs will have to wait a little longer to witness the historical spectacle, as the film's release date has been pushed from May 16 to May 23, 2025.
Sharing the update with the netizens, the makers penned on social media, "See you in the theatres on 23rd May 2025 ....Har Har Mahadev...Releasing Worldwide in Cinemas on 23rd May, 2025." However, the reason for the delay has not been disclosed by the makers.
The recently released trailer has sparked excitement among netizens with its portrayal of brave warriors protecting the sacred Somnath temple from invaders back in 14th-century India. Suniel Shetty takes on the role of the fearless Vegda Ji, while Sooraj Pancholi plays the unsung warrior Veer Hamirji Gohil.
Debutante Akanksha Sharma brings strength and emotion to the screen as Rajal, who shares a romantic arc with Sooraj's character. Together, they confront the menacing antagonist Zafar, portrayed by Vivek Oberoi, who arrives with an agenda of religious conversion.
Shedding light on his bond with Shetty, Pancholi talked about their camaraderie, both on and off the camera. "I've always looked up to Suniel Sir as a screen idol, and to have had the opportunity to work with him on Kesari Veer was a dream come true. He's not only an exceptional actor but also an inspiring mentor who has guided me throughout my career," he shared.
Directed by Prince Dhiman and produced by Kanubhai Chauhan under the Chauhan Studios banner, "Kesari Veer" features a compelling cast and promises a stirring blend of action, drama, and patriotism. Presented by Panorama Studios, the film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on May 23, 2025.

Gauahar Khan slams Suniel Shetty ‘comfort of C-section' comment: 'There's one thing I never told...'
Gauahar shared that she had undergone a C-section for her first delivery and revealed she suffered a miscarriage before Zehaan's birth read more Gauahar Khan, who featured in movies like Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Ishaqzaade and Fever among others, criticised Suniel Shetty's recent remarks about the 'comfort of C-section' on her newly launched YouTube podcast, MaaaNoranjan where she speaks motherhood, pregnancy and more. Gauahar shared that she had undergone a C-section for her first delivery and revealed she suffered a miscarriage before Zehaan's birth. 'There's one thing I never told everyone. I did have a miscarriage before Zehaan. What should I tell you about that feeling? It's impossible to describe it. It was a pregnancy, I lost the baby after almost 9 weeks. That loss was extremely difficult. And I'll be able to talk about it more in upcoming episodes,' Khan said on her podcast while holding back her tears. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Slamming Suniel Shetty's comment, who lauded his daughter Athiya for not opting for a C-section, she said, 'A what? I want to like scream at the top of my voice and say, How could you say that? Like how? There are so many myths around this topic — that if someone is having a C-section, it's the easier option. How can there be so much misinformation? and for a male celebrity to say that, who didn't go through pregnancy, didn't carry a child, doesn't know how painful C-section is.' While talking to News18, Suniel said, 'In a world where everybody wants the comfort of having a caesarean baby, she chose not to do that and had a natural delivery. I remember how every nurse and paediatrician in the hospital said that it's unbelievable how she went through the whole process. That hit me as a father. I was like, 'Wow, she's ready!' Athiya was very, very strong to do that.' The Kesari Veer star later clarified that his words were blown after proportion after garnering criticism for her comment.
