Vivek Oberoi As Kesari Veer’s Zafar Khan — A Villain You’ll Love to Hate

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India] May 23: In Kesari Veer, Vivek Oberoi took on the role of a ruthless Tughlaq general who stands in fierce opposition to Hamirji Gohil’s fight for faith and freedom. With piercing eyes, calculated menace, and a chilling calmness, Vivek delivered a performance that reaffirms why audiences love to see him in grey characters.

Zafar Khan is brutal on the battlefield and even more dangerous in strategy, making him a formidable opponent to Hamirji Gohil. Vivek’s portrayal walks the tightrope between historical realism and dramatic flair, giving audiences a villain they’ll love to despise and can’t take their eyes off.

Audiences have long celebrated Vivek Oberoi in negative roles. Whether it was Kaal in Krrish 3, Maya from the Shootout franchise or Kesu in Omkara, the actor has consistently proven that he is a powerhouse antagonist. All these films earned massive box office success, in no small part due to his magnetic villainy and with Kesari Veer, he’s added another chilling character to that list.

Directed by Prince Dhiman and produced by Kanu Chauhan under Chauhan Studios, the film starring Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, Sooraj Pancholi and introducing Akanksha Sharma, is crafted on grand sets and meticulously recreated palaces, promising a visual spectacle. A Panorama Studios worldwide release, Kesari Veer is a Kanu Chauhan film and has released now in multiple languages.
