Akshay Kumar Confirms Kesari 3
During the trailer launch, Akshay Kumar said that the franchise will be based on the life of Hari Singh Nalwa. He was the commander-in-chief of the Sikh Khalsa Fauj, the army of the Sikh Empire. Hinting at Kesari 4 also, Akshay said, “I want to tell everyone about the brave people of Punjab. I want to make Kesari 3 and Kesari 4 also. There are so many chapters. We can make several films. I want to bring out this valor because such things are not written in our history books either. Our history books are written as per the British people.”
The first Kesari film premiered in 2019. It tracked the events leading up to the Battle of Saragarhi in 1897, which pitted 21 Sikh soldiers from the British Indian Army’s 36th Sikh Regiment against 10,000 Afridi and Orakzai Pashtun tribesmen. Kesari: Chapter 2 is about the forgotten tragedy of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Akshay Kumar also said that Kesari: Chapter 2 was personal for him because his dad was born opposite Jallianwala Bagh, and that his grandfather had seen it all. Aside from Akshay, Kesari Chapter 2 also features R Madhavan and Ananya Panday in significant roles. The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, opens in theaters on April 13.
