About Kesari chapter 2
Meanwhile, R. Madhavan plays Neville Mckinley in the film. Earlier this week, Dharma Productions shared the over one-minute-thirty-seconds long teaser of the film, in which Akshay was seen in the role of a stern lawyer in a court presided over by a British judge. A segment of the video showed the judge telling him inside the court, “Don’t forget you’re still a slave of the British Empire.” Responding to him, Akshay’s character says, “F*** you.”
Kesari Chapter 2 is the sequel to the first film which released in 2019. It followed the events leading to the Battle of Saragarhi. It was 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. Parineeti Chopra played a pivotal role in the first chapter.
Kesari Chapter 2 will release in theatres on April 18.
