Himesh Reshammiya starrer Badass Ravi Kumar is a retro-action musical that pays a grand homage to the golden era of Bollywood which includes high-octane action, unforgettable characters and punchy dialogues.

The film is directed by Keith Gomes and produced by Himesh Reshammiya Melodies. Decorated with a multi-starrer cast, the movie stars Prabhu Deva, Kirti Kulhari, Sanjay Mishra, Saurabh Sachdeva, Prashant Narayan, Manish Wadhwa and others.

Sky Force is set to release on January 24, 2025, just in time for Republic Day week.

Starring Akshay Kumar and debutant Veer Pahariya in lead roles, Sky Force offers an exhilarating glimpse into India's first and one of its deadliest airstrikes on Pakistan. Directed by Sandeep Kewlani and Abhishek Kapur, Sky Force follows the story of an Indian Air Force (IAF) officer, played by Akshay Kumar, who embarks on a mission of vengeance after several Indian soldiers are killed.
