Kesari Chapter 2: Akshay Kumar makes special request to fans ahead of film’s release; reveals it will be ‘humiliation’ if they do THIS

At a recent discussion in Delhi, Akshay Kumar requested the audience not linked to movie promotions or ticket sales. Rather, he urged spectators to put their phones away during Kesari Chapter 2 screenings for an uninterrupted viewing experience.

The actor portraying Advocate C. Sankaran Nair, as noted in The Hindustan Times, encourages everyone to pay close attention to every line and emotion in the movie. Akshay emphasized that this is not just another film project for him, but a significant re-telling of an underrepresented historical event in India’s past. He also stated that interrupting the film with Instagram checks would be a disrespectful act given the effort put into the story.

 

On April 18, Kesari Chapter 2 is slated for theatre release, focusing on the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. In this movie, Akshay portrays a courageous lawyer who confronted the British Empire in court to uncover the truth. The film is inspired by the book “The Case That Shook the Empire” by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat and is often seen as a spiritual successor to Akshay’s 2019 film Kesari.

At the initial screening in Delhi, influential figures and notable individuals graced the occasion for the movie. Throughout this function, Akshay underscored his hope that “every Indian will see the film and resonate with the emotions and hardships portrayed on-screen”. He considers Kesari Chapter 2 to be more than mere entertainment—it’s a mirror of India’s history that merits our focus.

In this movie, R Madhavan plays the character of Advocate Neville McKinley, while Ananya Panday is cast as Dilreet Gill and Regina Cassandra portrays Palat Kunhimalu Amma. Karan Singh Tyagi directs this production, which is supported by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. The film has generated significant interest online due to its gripping teaser trailer.

In the trailer, Akshay employs a forceful term towards the British – an action he later justified. “In the movie, the judge labels my character as a slave. That’s a more significant offense,” he argued, maintaining that the film’s dialogue accurately reflects its historical context.
