Helmed by Abhishek Anil Kapur and Sandeep Kewlani, Sky Force is produced by Dinesh Vijan and Amar Kaushik under the banner of Maddock Films, in association with Jyoti Deshpande of Jio Studios. The film boasts an impressive cast, including Akshay Kumar, newcomer Veer Pahariya, Sara Ali Khan, and Nimrat Kaur. Sky Force is based on a pivotal moment in Indian history – the country’s retaliatory attack on Pakistan’s Sargodha airbase during the Indo-Pakistani air war of 1965, which is remembered as India’s first and deadliest airstrike.
