In an interview with Hauterrfly, Veer reacted to memes around his song and dance moves. He said, “I love it; I live for it. My whole life I’ve looked up to actors who get trolled and who have lookalikes, and they become a meme. Now, I have become a meme. This dance has immortalised me. Who knew me 20 days ago? Now if I do langdi here, they will recognise me.” The actor added that the trolling increased his engagement stats on social media. “I’ll say this for the first time. Since my song came out and since it went viral and got trolled, my engagement has increased so much that so many doors and avenues have opened up for me after that.”

He shares a fun anecdote and states, “I’ve already performed at two weddings. I did that langdi step with the bride. He further joked with the groom, saying, ‘This is my fifth round. If I do two more, the bride will be mine.’ So many work opportunities have opened because people now know who I am. I’ve got a hit song. I’ve got weddings, which is every actor’s dream—to be able to dance and perform at weddings. To those who are trolling, I will please wish that they troll even more so that I get even more weddings. And I earn money,” said Veer.

Sky Force is based on real-life events and draws its inspiration from the air war between the Indian and Pakistani Air Forces during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965. The film also starred Akshay Kumar, Sara Ali Khan and Nimrat Kaur.
