In his first role in the action-packed movie “Sky Force,” Veer Pahariya emerged as a new talent, receiving both accolades for the film and unexpected attention. A video of a unique dance move from the film, which he dubbed the ‘hook step,’ sparked conversations on social media platforms. Some found it entertaining, while others weren’t shy about expressing their opinions. Despite the mixed responses, Veer took the buzz in stride, humorously commenting that his newfound meme status had boosted his popularity and he was more than content to surf this trend.

In conversation with Hauterrfly, Veer Pahariya disclosed that he truly flourishes under the experience of being trolled. Looking back at his popular dance step from the song Rang, he spoke about his appreciation for the sudden popularity it brought him. He also voiced his enthusiasm about turning into a meme, stating that it’s something he’s long admired in other actors.

Now I’ve turned into a viral sensation, it’s hard to believe! My unique dance move has left an everlasting mark on people,” he exclaimed joyfully. He even quipped that performing the ‘langdi’ step would instantly make him recognizable, something unfathomable merely weeks ago.

In an interview, Veer disclosed that the teasing about his popular dance move has unexpectedly propelled his career. He explained how the heightened interest led to a substantial surge in his social media interactions, creating chances for fresh ventures. Since the Rang song became viral, Veer has already danced at two weddings— even dancing the langdi step with the bride. Playfully, he joked with one groom, “I’m on my fifth performance here. If I do two more, the bride will be mine.

Delighted by the unforeseen advantages of internet popularity from memes, the actor from Sky Force views wedding performances as an ideal acting role. He jokingly invited further teasing, anticipating that it might lead to additional wedding invitations and increased income.

2025’s film Sky Force, starring Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya, has left a significant mark at the box office, becoming the first movie of the year to exceed the 100 crore rupee threshold. Directed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, this film offers thrilling air combat scenes and pays an emotional tribute to Squadron Leader Ajjamada Boppayya Devayya MVC, the only Indian Air Force officer to be awarded the Maha Vir Chakra posthumously.

This action-drama, jointly produced by Jio Studios and Maddock Films, showcases remarkable acting from Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur, lending a deep emotional resonance to its inspiring story about bravery and selflessness.
