Mumbai, April 18 In a disappointing turn of events for Bollywood, Kesari: Chapter 2, one of the most anticipated films of the year starring Akshay Kumar, has reportedly been leaked online within hours of its theatrical release. The film, based on the life and legal battles of renowned lawyer C. Sankaran Nair following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, hit cinemas today and has already surfaced on several piracy websites.

Early Acclaim Overshadowed by Piracy Setback
Kesari: Chapter 2 features powerhouse performances by Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday. The film has received praise for its gripping storyline, impactful courtroom sequences, and powerful direction by Karan Singh Tyagi. Produced by Karan Johar, the movie was expected to have a strong opening weekend at the box office.
However, its box office momentum may now be hampered. Reports confirm that pirated copies of the film are circulating on notorious torrent sites including Telegram, Filmyzilla, Tamilrockers, and Movierulz. These platforms are offering free downloads, which could significantly affect footfall in cinemas across India.
Box Office Collection May Be Affected
Industry analysts have expressed concern that the leak could reduce the film’s earnings by a considerable margin, especially during its crucial first weekend. For a film of this scale, where the theatrical run is vital to recovering production costs, early piracy poses a major threat to profitability.
Based on a Powerful Real-Life Story
Kesari: Chapter 2 chronicles the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a fearless legal crusader who took on the British Empire in the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Akshay Kumar’s portrayal of the resolute lawyer brings the historic court battle to life, while R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday lend strong support in pivotal roles.
The film’s intense courtroom drama and patriotic narrative had positioned it for both critical acclaim and commercial success. The leak now casts a shadow over the film’s box office future, prompting urgent calls within the industry for stronger anti-piracy measures.
