Akshay Kumar has unveiled a striking new look as C. Sankaran Nair for his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2. The actor shared an image of himself in a traditional Kathakali avatar, complete with intricate makeup, vibrant attire, and ornate headgear. This transformation is not just a visual spectacle but a symbolic representation of tradition, resistance, and truth. Akshay emphasized that this is “not a costume” but a powerful emblem of India’s cultural heritage and the indomitable spirit of its freedom fighters.
The film, set to release on April 18, delves into the courtroom battle led by C. Sankaran Nair against the British Empire following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Unlike the battlefield focus of the first Kesari film, this sequel shifts to the courtroom, highlighting Nair’s legal fight for justice. The narrative promises to shed light on a lesser-known chapter of India’s history, showcasing the power of law and resilience.
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by Dharma Productions, the film also stars R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday in pivotal roles. The trailer, which has already generated significant buzz, features intense courtroom exchanges and a gripping portrayal of historical events. Akshay’s Kathakali look has further heightened anticipation, symbolizing the cultural richness and depth of the story.
