Suniel Shetty, along with Sooraj Pancholi and Akanksha Sharma, took part in the Sunday On Cycle Marathon, a Fit India Movement initiative aimed at promoting a healthy and active lifestyle. The Bollywood actor, known for his fitness-focused persona, delivered an inspiring message while interacting with the media: “Like I have always said, wellness is far-far cheaper than illness. Do not take this marathon just for today—maintain this in your life forever. Stay fit always, and you’ll stay away from all illnesses.” He also acknowledged the role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in launching the Fit India campaign, which has now grown into a nationwide movement.
The event drew large crowds of cycling enthusiasts, families, and fitness supporters who participated in the marathon with great enthusiasm. The presence of celebrities added excitement and inspired many to take up fitness seriously. Suniel Shetty's words resonated with the purpose of the event—encouraging sustainable wellness routines over temporary fitness fads. His commitment to health and wellness further strengthens his connection with fans who admire his disciplined lifestyle.
The actors’ appearance at the event also served as a promotional moment for their upcoming historical film Kesari Veer, releasing on 23rd May. Set in the 14th century, the film chronicles the valiant efforts of warriors who defend the Somnath temple from invading forces. The film stars Suniel Shetty, Vivek Oberoi, Sooraj Pancholi, and newcomer Akanksha Sharma, and is poised to deliver high-octane action wrapped in rich historical drama.
Directed by Prince Dhiman and produced by Kanu Chauhan under the Chauhan Studios banner, Kesari Veer will be released globally by Panorama Studios. With its strong patriotic theme and powerful cast, the film is already gaining traction. By combining a message of physical strength and historical valor, both the Fit India event and Kesari Veer promote the idea that true strength—whether on the battlefield or in everyday life—begins with a healthy body and a determined spirit.
