Akshay Kumar is coming up with yet another gripping historical tale. The Bollywood superstar will next be seen in ‘Kesari Chapter 2’. The film delves into the lesser-known story of C Sankaran Nair, a lawyer and statesman who challenged the British Raj to expose the truth behind the horrific Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The makers, on Monday, unveiled the power-packed teaser. The clip begins with audio of women and men screaming as they run for their lives during the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in Amritsar.
After the first thirty seconds, we are shown a glimpse of the Golden Temple in 1919. A voiceover then tells us how the British killed people who had gathered at the Jallianwala Bagh.
A few seconds later, Akshay Kumar appears as a lawyer who is talking to the judge inside the court. The judge then tells Akshay Kumar's character, “Don't forget you're still a slave of the British Empire.” Responding to this, Akshay's character storms off, saying, "F*** you."
Akshay Kumar shared the teaser on Instagram. In the caption, he wrote, “He held his head high.
He beat them at their game. He told them where to go. A genocide India must know about. A revolution painted in courage. #KesariChapter2 teaser out now.”
