'Kesari Chapter 2' Teaser: Akshay Kumar delivers a bold narrative of ‘The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh’

The teaser for Akshay Kumar's 'Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh' was unveiled on Monday, promising a gripping portrayal of one of the darkest chapters in Indian history. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film delves into the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, a pivotal event that forever altered India's struggle for independence. With Akshay Kumar playing Sir C Sankaran Nair, a courageous lawyer who challenged British colonial rule, the film aims to shed light on the lesser-known consequences of this tragedy.

A bold and unique teaser
The teaser itself is groundbreaking in its approach. Lasting one minute and fifteen seconds, it begins with an unprecedented 30-second audio segment featuring no visuals or titles. Instead, the audience is immersed in the haunting sounds of chaos—cries of victims and anguished pleas such as "Please stop, for God's sake" and "The gates are locked." This audio-only opening sets a sombre tone, with a chilling disclaimer warning that "These visuals are too horrific to display."

Jallianwala Bagh massacre
The Jallianwala Bagh massacre happened on 13 April 1919 in Amritsar, Punjab. British soldiers, led by General Dyer, fired on a peaceful gathering of unarmed men, women, and children. Hundreds lost their lives in this brutal attack. The massacre became a turning point in India's independence movement, galvanising widespread outrage and nationalist sentiment.
Sir C Sankaran Nair
'Kesari Chapter 2' focuses on Sir C Sankaran Nair's efforts to hold the British accountable for their actions. Nair was an eminent lawyer and nationalist who played a crucial role in exposing British atrocities through legal channels.
