Akshay Kumar has once again left fans intrigued and impressed with his dedication to roles rooted in India’s history. In a striking new image shared on his social media, the actor is seen fully dressed in elaborate Kathakali attire—complete with traditional face paint, ornate headgear, and vibrant costume. But this is no ordinary transformation.
Kesari Chapter 2: Akshay Kumar channels Kathakali warrior spirit in powerful new look
As Akshay himself puts it, “This is not a costume. It’s a symbol — of tradition, of resistance, of truth, of my nation. C Sankaran Nair didn’t fight with a weapon. He fought the British Empire with the law — and with fire in his soul. This 18th APRIL, we bring you the court trial they never taught in textbooks.” Akshay’s portrayal of Nair, juxtaposed with the powerful symbolism of the Kathakali warrior, underscores the film’s core message — that resistance can take many forms, and sometimes, the fiercest warriors wear robes, not armour.
The post is already making waves online, not just for its visual impact but also for the story it promises to unfold. The upcoming film, Kesari Chapter 2, delves into the life of renowned Indian lawyer and statesman C Sankaran Nair, who stood up against the British Empire in the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919. Unlike the battlefields showcased in the first film, this sequel shifts focus to the courtroom, highlighting a lesser-known but powerful chapter of resistance—fought not with guns, but with legal might.
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, Kesari Chapter 2 also stars R Madhavan and Ananya Panday in pivotal roles. The film is inspired by real events and traces how Sankaran Nair took on the might of the British Raj by dragging key figures like General Dyer—the man responsible for the Jallianwala Bagh genocide—to court.
Billed as a hard-hitting courtroom drama, the film will uncover truths that were left out of school textbooks, promising to be both an eye-opener and a tribute to the forgotten heroes of India’s freedom struggle. Kesari Chapter 2 hits cinemas on April 18, with Akshay Kumar leading what promises to be one of the year’s most compelling dramas.
