The teaser for Kesari Chapter 2, officially titled Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, has ignited buzz across the nation. Featuring Akshay Kumar as the fearless lawyer C Sankaran Nair, the film promises a powerful narrative rooted in the untold legal battle that followed one of India’s darkest moments.
Key Highlights:
Produced by Dharma Productions, Cape of Good Films, and Leo Media Collective, and directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film adapts the bestselling book The Case That Shook the Empire by Pushpa Palat and Raghu Palat.
Audio-Driven Teaser Sparks Curiosity
The teaser begins in complete darkness. For the first 30 seconds, audiences hear only audio – gunshots, terrified screams, and a haunting silence – underscoring the brutal massacre at Jallianwala Bagh. A chilling voiceover breaks through:
“Don’t forget that you’re still a slave to the British Empire.”
The bold decision to rely solely on sound instead of visuals makes a striking statement. The teaser withholds graphic imagery, yet it vividly evokes the horror of the historical event through sensory storytelling alone.
Akshay Kumar as C Sankaran Nair
Akshay Kumar steps into the role of Sir C Sankaran Nair, the lawyer who famously challenged the British Empire after the massacre. His brief but impactful line in the teaser, “F*ck you,” sets the tone for a fierce courtroom drama, breaking away from conventional historical storytelling.
While the teaser only offers a glimpse of Akshay’s performance, it firmly positions him as a central force in the film’s narrative. The presence of R Madhavan and Ananya Panday, whose roles remain under wraps, adds further intrigue to the cast.
A New Direction for Historical Cinema
Kesari Chapter 2 is not a sequel to the 2019 film Kesari, but rather a new chapter in portraying India’s resistance against colonial rule. With its gritty audio-driven approach and intense subject matter, the film sets out to redefine the historical drama genre in Indian cinema.
Backed by a compelling true story and a stellar cast, the film is expected to bring forth conversations on justice, memory, and national identity.
Release Date and Anticipation
Kesari Chapter 2 is slated for release on April 18, 2025, and anticipation is building rapidly following the teaser drop. The bold storytelling technique, combined with the historical weight of the subject matter, positions the film as one of the most awaited releases of the year.
