MUMBAI: After a lot of appreciation for Kesari, the makers came back with Kesari Chapter 2. The announcement of this new chapter garnered a lot of excitement.

Since a while now, audiences have been loving Akshay Kumar’s performances a little more, be it in Sarfira, Khel Khel Mein or Sky Force. The actor gave an amazing performance in the 2019 movie Kesari where he was paired opposite Parineeti Chopra.

The movie was based on the battle of Saragarhi which took place in 1897. The battle was an unforgettable one between 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment of the British India Army and 10,000 Afridi and Orakzai Pashtun tribesmen.

The makers are here with the second chapter and the cast includes Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday. While Kesari was directed by Anurag Singh, this time, Kesari Chapter 2 is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi. The movie will be produced by Dharma Production, Leo Media Collective & Cape of Good Films. This time, the movie is based on the story of the unfortunate Jallianwala Bagh massacre which took place in April, 1919. The movie has hit the theatres and is receiving some really great responses from the audience.

In an exclusive conversation with Tellychakkar, Karan Singh Tyagi was asked if he felt any pressure taking two great actors like Akshay Kumar and R. Madhavan into the movie but the director had an insightful reply for it.

Karan Singh Tyagi said, “It would be wring to say that ‘I took them’. They showed faith in a first-time director like me, so I’m grateful to them for showing faith in my vision and I’m a first-time director who until this film had not even made a short film, toh complete credit goes to them and I feel their rivalry is the heart of the film and you should’ve seen when they were arguing, when they were going against each other, it was fire works. Both of them had brought so much to their roles, both of them improvised so much, both of them have brought their own personality to the part that they were playing and it was just magical.”
