| Kesari Chapter 2 |
Indian cinema has long been a powerful medium for storytelling, and the upcoming historical drama Kesari Chapter 2 promises to continue that legacy. Scheduled for release on April 18, 2025, this much-anticipated film brings to life the gripping story of C. Sankaran Nair, a courageous lawyer who fought to expose the truth about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
A Shift from Battlefield to Courtroom
While the 2019 hit Kesari celebrated the valor of Sikh soldiers in the Battle of Saragarhi, Kesari Chapter 2 takes a poignant turn, shifting its focus from the battlefield to the courtroom. Akshay Kumar steps into the role of C. Sankaran Nair, a man of immense courage who stood against the British Raj. The movie draws inspiration from the book "The Case That Shook the Empire" by Pushpa Palat and Raghu Palat.
The Story Behind the Film
The narrative of Kesari Chapter 2 revolves around Nair's unwavering pursuit of justice in the aftermath of the horrific Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. Serving as a member of the Viceroy's Executive Council, Nair resigned in protest and launched a legal battle to uncover the truth. His defiance in the face of colonial tyranny marked a significant chapter in India's struggle for independence.
With Ananya Panday and R. Madhavan in pivotal roles, the film captures the emotional and political turmoil that engulfed the nation. The movie also features prominent international actors like Sammy Jonas Heaney as Harold Laski and Steven Hartley as Judge McArdie, adding depth and authenticity to the courtroom drama.
