In 2019, Kesari brought the Battle of Saragarhi to the big screen. Akshay Kumar led the film, while Anurag Singh directed it. The story honoured 21 Sikh soldiers who stood against 10,000 Afghan invaders. More than just a film, Kesari became a symbol of bravery and sacrifice.
Now in 2025, Kesari returns with a new chapter. This time, the story shifts to another defining moment in Indian history. Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh promises to be just as powerful if not more.
Kesari 2 Brings A Bold New Chapter
The teaser was released today and takes a bold approach. It features a chilling 30-second audio clip that captures the horror of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre without showing a single visual. The choice has already left audiences stunned.
Akshay Kumar is back but in a different role. He plays Sir C. Sankaran Nair, a fearless lawyer who challenged the British government after the massacre. Karan Singh Tyagi directs the film, which is based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Pushpa Palat and Raghu Palat.
Star-Studded Cast And High Expectations From The Sequel
R Madhavan and Ananya Panday also join the cast. Their roles remain a mystery, but the secrecy has only added to the excitement. With a gripping narrative and strong cast members included, the film is definitely a must-watch.
Dharma Productions, Cape of Good Films, and Leo Media Collective have backed the project. Kesari Chapter 2 aims to push the boundaries of historical dramas. Its emotional depth, intense courtroom battles, and historical significance set the stage for an unforgettable experience.
The film arrives on April 18 and the release date is inching closer with each day. Viewers are impressed after watching the teaser and judging from the glimpse, it would be fair to say the Kesari legacy is only growing stronger. This fresh chapter is sure to inspire a new generation to remember and honour the past.
