Before the release of Kesari Chapter 2, Akshay shared some behind the scene pictures from the set. He wrote, “You must have heard many stories but this is a storm. C. This story of Sankaran Nair shocked me because we didn’t know someone dragged the entire British umpire to court after the Jallianwala Bagh genocide. Kesari Chapter 2 movie I am doing not just as an artist but as an Indian. It’s not just a movie… It’s an incomplete calculation, it’s a painful memory… And finally — it’s fair. Kesari Chapter 2 now in cinemas near you.”
