In Kesari Veer, Vivek Oberoi played the part of a vicious Tughlaq general who is in fierce contrast to Hamirji Gohil’s battle for faith and freedom. With cold steely eyes, calculated intimidation, and a killer calmness, Vivek proved why audiences adore watching him in grey roles.
Zafar Khan is as ruthless on the field as he is deadly in strategy, and he proves to be a very dangerous foe for Hamirji Gohil. Vivek’s performance toes the fine line between historical accuracy and dramatics, presenting a villain who is endearing yet loathsome at the same time and cannot look away from.
Audiences have been feting Vivek Oberoi in villainous roles long enough. Whether it was Kaal of Krrish 3, Maya of the Shootout series or Kesu of Omkara, the actor has persistently demonstrated he is a force to be reckoned with in the role of the antagonist. All these movies were huge box office hits, in no small measure because of his magnetic villainy and with Kesari Veer, he’s added yet another menacing character to that tally.
Directed by Prince Dhiman and produced by Kanu Chauhan for Chauhan Studios, the Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, Sooraj Pancholi-starrer and Akanksha Sharma-introducer is built on elaborate sets and carefully recreated palaces, with a promise of a spectacle. A Panorama Studios worldwide release, Kesari Veer is a Kanu Chauhan film and has been released now in several languages.
