Dharma Productions has released a behind-the-scenes video that offers fans a deeper look into the making of the much-anticipated historical drama Kesari Chapter 2. This special video, shared across the studio’s social media platforms, not only showcases intense on-set moments but also highlights the vision and passion behind the film from its makers.
The featurette opens with glimpses of Akshay Kumar in action as C. Sankaran Nair, a towering figure in Indian history who took on the might of the British Empire in the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. With moving visuals and stirring courtroom scenes, the video sets the tone for a film that promises to be both emotionally gripping and historically significant.
Producer Karan Johar appears in the video, speaking about the inspiration behind the film and why it was important to bring this untold chapter of Indian history to life. Director Karan Singh Tyagi echoes this sentiment, explaining how Nair’s fight wasn’t with weapons but with words, truth, and the law. He also details how Akshay Kumar transformed himself to embody the role, bringing both intensity and integrity to the character.
In Kesari Chapter 2, Kumar portrays C. Sankaran Nair, a prominent lawyer and political figure who challenged the British Empire legally following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The film delves into this lesser-known chapter of Indian history, highlighting Nair’s unwavering commitment to justice and national pride. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the movie is based on the book The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat.
Set against the backdrop of one of the most tragic and politically significant events in India’s colonial history, Kesari Chapter 2 explores the journey of C. Sankaran Nair — lawyer, nationalist, and a relentless seeker of justice. His role in exposing the truth behind the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and standing up to the British establishment marks a compelling narrative that blends patriotism, drama, and historical depth.
With Karan Johar backing the project and Akshay Kumar leading the charge, the film is expected to be a stirring tribute to unsung heroes of India’s freedom movement. Kesari Chapter 2 is slated for release on 18 April 2025, and the newly released BTS video has only amplified the excitement and anticipation among fans and history buffs alike.
