Veera is a 2013 Indian Kannada language action film directed by Ayyappa P. Sharma and starring Malashri, Rahul Dev and Ashish Vidyarthi in the lead roles.

The plot revolves around covert operative Veeralakshmi aka Veera, who is taken care by her step-father police commissioner Garudachar, when she faced prison term for killing a boy.

She steals diamonds from him and destroys the car, which is used by RD to transport drugs and also kills his aide Alex and brother Joe.

Veera was announced in December 2009, with Malashri returning after a six-month hiatus, following her previous release, Kannadada Kiran Bedi.

[2] However, the film went under production only in July 2012, following the signing of Ashish Vidyarthi and Komal Kumar to play pivotal roles.

[3] Majority of the filming took place abroad in parts of Southeast Asia such as Bangkok, Hong Kong and Macau.

Stuntmen who had previously worked with Jackie Chan were hired to train Malashri to perform the action sequences in the film that involved a motorboat chase and a nine-vehicle cannon blast.

G. S. Kumar of The Times of India rated the film 3.5/5 and wrote "Armed with a good script, director Aiyyappa P Sharma has churned out a commercial movie packed with action."

[6] Muralidhara Khajane from The Hindu wrote "Veera is the story of a sister avenging the murder of her brother Manju who was killed during their childhood.

In fact, going by the number of action scenes, dialogues and the pedestrian screenplay, it would seem that director Ayyappa P Prasad has taken the Kannada film-viewing audience for granted."
