To note, Kesai Chapter 2 holds a unique significance for Akshay due to his grandfather's direct experience of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. He shared, "My grandfather witnessed the entire Jallianwala Bagh incident. He had told stories to my father about this, and my father told me. I have known a lot about the massacre since I was a child, so the film is very special to me. The event has been etched in my mind always...The most surprising thing was history doesn't tell us what we actually need to know." This personal history imbues the project with profound meaning, highlighting an event that has profoundly impacted his family's narrative.

In a compelling reflection, Akshay conveyed his hope that by viewing his film, the British government and King Charles would recognize and perhaps apologize for historical injustices. "I'm not here with a begging bowl to say, 'They should say sorry'. I want them to at least watch this movie and realise the mistake. Other things will flow automatically from their mouth. The apology is bound to happen, it will flow on its own. But I want them to watch this film. I want the British government and King Charles to watch this film. They should see what happened. The rest will follow automatically," he stated. Through this statement, Akshay underscores his belief in the power of cinema to enlighten and foster understanding, suggesting that acknowledgment of the past is a crucial step towards healing and reconciliation.
