Akshay Kumar's 'Kesari: Chapter 2' - One of The Best Films of Dharma Productions

Mumbai, February 19 - Superstar Akshay Kumar is a beast of an actor when it comes to playing real-life characters on the big screen. His Kesari (2019) is one of the most memorable films in his vast filmography. The movie was based on the Battle of Saragarhi, a battle between 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment of the British Indian Army and 10,000 Afridi and Orakzai Pashtun tribesmen in 1897. ## The next up for the actor is Kesari: Chapter 2, which is based on the story of lawyer C Sankaran Nair, who fought an 'unprecedented battle' against the British empire in the 1920s after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The movie has been in the news for the last few days after the info about its title was revealed. ## Though, Kesari: Chapter 2 is completely different from the original film, it is said that the movie has a thematic similarity with its namesake. Like Kesari, the upcoming movie also focuses on an important chapter of Indian history and both films share a common thread of bravery, inspiration, and patriotism as their core elements. ## As the movie is gaining momentum, producer Karan Johar of Dharma Productions has raised the hype further by calling it one of their best films. During an interview with Komal Nahata, the filmmaker was asked if he had to make a war film, which chapter of history he would like to explore.## The ace filmmaker mentioned that he would love to make a war film on the Jallianwala Bagh incident. He added that there is a true story that he is producing about a man named C. Sankaran Nair, who fought the English crown because, at the time, Colonel Dyer claimed that it was a self-defence act (Jallianwala Bagh massacre), which is simply horrible to hear.## The movie, which was earlier supposed to be titled Shankara, is directed by debutante Karan Singh Tyagi with Akshay Kumar in the lead. Johar added, "I want to say this on record - it (Kesari Chapter 2) is one of our best films that we’ve made and I'm so proud of it. I couldn't wait for the audience to watch the film".## Kesari Chapter 2 also stars R. Madhavan and Ananya Pandey in prominent roles and is produced by Amritpal Bindra, Leo Collective and Dharma Productions. The movie is scheduled to be released on April 18, 2025. ## Stay tuned...
