Delhi CM Rekha Gupta reflected on the chilling portrayal of events, calling the film a deeply emotional experience. “This film gives you goosebumps as it portrays how a bloody Baisakhi was observed that day at Jallianwala Bagh, and how millions sacrificed their lives for the country’s freedom, only to be lost in the pages of history… we don’t even know their names. And yet, we are able to breathe freely in an independent nation today because of them," she said.
Kesari Chapter 2 is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Karan Johar. Starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, the film revisits one of the darkest days in Indian history, the April 13, 1919, Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Set in the aftermath of the brutal incident, it follows the journey of C. Sankaran Nair (portrayed by Akshay Kumar), a fearless lawyer who took on the British Raj in a legal battle to bring justice to the victims.
