Mumbai, April 9 — Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar is all set to return to the silver screen with one of the most anticipated films of 2025 — Kesari: Chapter 2. The upcoming historical drama will center around the heart-wrenching Jallianwala Bagh massacre and promises to bring an untold story of justice and courage to life.

A Powerful First Look That Speaks Volumes
In the film, Akshay Kumar steps into the shoes of senior barrister C. Sankaran Nair, a fearless legal crusader who fought the British Raj not with weapons, but with the power of the law. The actor recently revealed his new look from the film, which showcases him in a serious and resolute avatar, one that fans have never seen before. Clad in traditional courtroom attire, the character’s commanding presence has sparked a wave of excitement among moviegoers.
Akshay shared his thoughts on social media, writing, “This is not just a costume. It’s a symbol — of tradition, of resistance, of truth, of my nation. C. Sankaran Nair didn’t fight with weapons. He fought the British Empire with law. We’re bringing to you a courtroom battle you’ve never read in your history books.”
What Is ‘Kesari: Chapter 2’ About?
Unlike its predecessor which focused on the Battle of Saragarhi, Kesari: Chapter 2 shifts its lens to one of the darkest chapters in India’s colonial history — the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The film traces the legal fight led by Nair, highlighting the emotional and political battle that ensued following the brutal killing of hundreds of innocent Indians.
Star-Studded Cast and Release Date
Joining Akshay Kumar in this cinematic journey are R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday, both of whom are playing pivotal roles in this powerful narrative. While Madhavan is expected to portray a political figure or fellow advocate, Ananya’s role is being kept under wraps, adding to the intrigue.
Directed by a yet-to-be-announced filmmaker, Kesari: Chapter 2 is set for a theatrical release on April 18, 2025. Given its patriotic themes and emotional weight, industry experts are already predicting strong box office performance.
