If you’re planning to watch ‘Kesari Chapter 2’, make sure you’re seated with your popcorn ‘before’ the lights dim—because Akshay Kumar has a special message for you: “Don’t be late!”
The Bollywood superstar, who takes on the role of legendary lawyer C. Sankaran Nair in the much-anticipated film, recently spoke at a special screening in Mumbai and stressed that the opening 10 minutes are crucial. And not just important—he called them the heart of the story.
“Those first few moments will hit you hard,” Akshay Kumar told the paparazzi. “This isn’t just any intro. It sets the entire tone of the film. So I really urge everyone to come on time and not miss even a second.”
‘Kesari Chapter 2’ dives into the harrowing but lesser-known events surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, promising to bring a raw, emotional, and gripping narrative to the screen. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Karan Johar, the film stars Ananya Panday and R Madhavan alongside Akshay, and is ready to strike a powerful chord with audiences.
