After the success of Kesari in 2019, the sequel is now ready to hit theatres. Titled Kesari Chapter 2, the film releases tomorrow with momentum building from both viewers and industry insiders. Early responses from previews and trailer drops have created a wave of anticipation.
Akshay Kumar plays the titular character of C. Shankaran Nair, who challenges the British empire and is joined this time by R Madhavan, who plays the opposition lawyer, Neville McKinley and Ananya Panday, who plays Amrinder Gill. The film is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and backed by Dharma Productions, Cape of Good Films, and Leo Media Collective.
Kesari Chapter 2 continues the narrative rooted in valour and sacrifice, themes that resonated with audiences in the first instalment, this time exploring the story of the untold story of the Jallianwalla Bagh Massacre. The new chapter aims to explore deeper layers of the historical conflict while expanding on the characters’ journeys. With scenes set against intense battle sequences and personal struggles, the film looks to offer a powerful story for the big screen.
The trailers suggest a shift in tone—while staying true to the original film’s themes, the sequel introduces new characters and plotlines. The scale appears larger, and the action sequences seem more grounded in physicality and precision. The chemistry between the lead cast, especially in tense and emotional moments, has already caught the attention of fans online.
With the release now just a day away, ticket bookings have picked up across regions. Many are expecting packed shows during the opening weekend, particularly given the goodwill the original film generated.
Kesari Chapter 2 arrives with high expectations and a strong ensemble. Whether it matches the impact of its predecessor will be known soon, but for now, the buzz is steady and rising. Audiences can catch the film in theatres starting tomorrow.
