Kesari Chapter 2 teaser sets stage for epic Jallianwala legal battle

Fans are excited for the upcoming historical courtroom drama Kesari Chapter 2 after the recently released teaser gave a sneak peek into the high-stakes battle for justice that will unfold on screen.

Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Dharma Productions, the film stars Akshay Kumar as C. Sankaran Nair, the courageous lawyer who took on the British Empire after the brutal Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919.

In the teaser, we see Kumar’s character confronting the mighty forces of British colonial power. His resolve to uncover the truth about the massacre is palpable, and the emotional weight of his mission is enhanced by the intense atmosphere created by the trailer’s visuals and soundtrack. The teaser also gives us a glimpse of R. Madhavan as the British defence lawyer, with Ananya Panday portraying a fellow lawyer involved in the legal proceedings.

As Akshay Kumar faces off against the British defence, the teaser showcases several striking moments, including the stark contrast between the colonisers’ indifference and the unyielding spirit of Nair’s fight for justice. One powerful image shows Kumar, as Nair, vowing to bring the truth to light in a fierce courtroom clash.

The film, which will be released on 18 April 2025—just days after the anniversary of the massacre—promises to be a riveting portrayal of one man’s fight against the Empire. The teaser hints at the film’s dark, serious tone, showcasing moments from the horrific massacre, as well as the emotional and moral struggle of those who fought for truth and accountability.

The trailer, which was shared widely across social media platforms, already has fans buzzing about the film’s potential to capture the raw emotion and historical significance of this event.

Producer Karan Johar shared his excitement for the project, stating, "We’ve carefully recreated history in a way that does justice to the events of Jallianwala Bagh. This film is our tribute to the victims, and to the fight for justice that many fought for during that time."

With its impactful teaser and a powerful cast led by Akshay Kumar, Kesari Chapter 2 is set to be one of the most anticipated films of the year. Fans and history enthusiasts alike are eagerly awaiting the film’s release.
