Akshay Kumar’s powerful new release, Kesari Chapter 2, has finally hit the big screen, bringing to life the courageous journey of C Shankaran Nair—the man who dared to take on the British Empire after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The film, which had already created quite a buzz before release, premiered on April 17, attracting several Bollywood celebrities.

One such celeb, Vicky Kaushal, couldn’t hold back his admiration after watching the film. He took to Instagram Stories, sharing his thoughts and appreciation for the entire team.

Congratulations to Karan Johar, Amritpal Singh Bindra, Anand Tiwari, Apoorva Mehta and Adar Poonawala for bringing this important chapter of our history to celluloid.”

He also showered praise on the film’s cast, saying, “Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, Ananya Pandey and Amit Sial are absolutely brilliant. It’s magic. Do not miss it at all.”

A Story Close to Vicky Kaushal’s Heart

Interestingly, Vicky Kaushal himself portrayed the story of Udham Singh in Sardar Udham—a man who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre by assassinating General Dyer. Perhaps this is why Kesari Chapter 2 resonated so deeply with him.
