Kesari Chapter 2: British parliament debates Jallianwala Bagh apology after teaser releases

The British Parliament has once again found itself discussing the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a tragic event from 1919, after the teaser for Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh was released. The film, featuring Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday, and R. Madhavan, has sparked renewed interest in the historical event and raised fresh calls for an official apology from the UK government.

MP Bob Blackman recently urged the government to issue a formal apology for the massacre, where British forces, under General Dyer, fired upon unarmed civilians gathered in Amritsar. Blackman highlighted that previous leaders, including former Prime Minister Theresa May, acknowledged the event as a stain on British colonial history but stopped short of a full apology. With the anniversary approaching on April 13, he requested a government statement addressing the past.

Coinciding with these discussions, the teaser for Kesari Chapter 2 has brought the tragic episode into the public eye once again. The teaser offers a glimpse into the struggle for justice led by C. Sankaran Nair, an influential lawyer and political leader who took on the British establishment to expose the truth behind the massacre.

The film delves into how C. Sankaran Nair fought against British authorities to seek accountability for the massacre. It highlights the bravery of those who stood against oppression and the legal battles that followed.

Akshay Kumar takes on the role of C. Sankaran Nair, portraying his relentless pursuit of truth. R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday are also part of the ensemble, contributing to the film’s layered narrative. The film is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, with Karan Johar's Dharma Productions backing the project.

Kesari Chapter 2 is set to hit the big screens on 18th April 2025. The film is expected to ignite discussions on colonial-era injustices and Britain’s role in acknowledging its past.
