Akshay Kumar Speaks About 'Protest' In Kesari Chapter 2

Akshay Kumar made a post on social media, collaborating with the District, and confessed that he felt "powerful as an actor" while performing the role of C Sankaran Nair. Akshay explained Nair as someone who was "like a fox, sharp minded, brave and fearless." "When I focused on his silence, he had quiet fire inside him, that's what I try to channel inside my mind and that is how I prepared myself for the role," described Akshay. "Some protests aren't loud. They're precise," wrote District.

Akshay further explained in another of his post about how less we know about the man C Shankaran Nair who fought against the Jallianwala Bagh genocide. He wrote, "You must have heard many stories but this is a storm. C. This story of Shankaran Nair shocked me because we didn't know someone dragged the entire British umpire to court after the Jallianwala Bagh genocide." The actor further asked his fans to watch the movie Kesari 2 to know the full story about the Nair and how he fought against British government.

Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh is a historical courtroom drama that stars Akshay Kumar in lead role alongside R Madhavan, Ananya Panday, Regina Cassandra, Simon Paisley Day, Alexx O'Nell, and Amit Sial in key roles. The movie is directed and co-written by Karan Singh Tyagi. Kesari 2 is co-produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla and Anand Tiwari under the banner of Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective and Cape of Good Films. The movie is reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 180 Crore. Will Kesari 2 be a hit by crossing the invested amount? Let us further wait for the time being to know whether its a hit or a miss.

Kesari was reportedly initially named Shankara. However, the makers decided to change the name of the movie to Kesari: Chapter 2 in order to link it to the 2019 movie Kesari. Kesari 2 tells the story of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and what happened after that. Amid the brutal killing of thousands of people, the movie shows how Nair fought against the Britishers.
