As “Kesari Chapter 2” released on Friday, actor Akshay Kumar said that he’s not merely acting as an artist, but as an Indian in the film.

Akshay shared a few stills from the film, which also stars Ananya Panday and R. Madhavan.

For the caption, he wrote in Hindi: “Kahaniyaan bahut suni hongi aapne par yah ek toofaan hai. C. Shankaran Nayar ki is kahani ne mujhe jhajhkoor diya kyunki hum nahin jaante the ki Jallianwala Bagh narsanhar ke baad kisi ek vyakti ne poore British ampayar ko adalat mein ghaseet kar ghutnon par la diya tha.”

“(You must have heard many stories, but this one is a storm. C. Sankaran Nair’s story shook me because we didn’t know that after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, one man dragged the entire British Empire to court and brought them to their knees..)”

Malayalam actor Shine Tom Chacko, who escaped during a police raid in connection with an alleged drug use complaint against him, was caught in another controversy when his colleague Vincy Aloshious accused him of misbehaviour.

Aloshious, who had previously spoken about being mistreated by a co-actor on a film set, identified the individual as Chacko.

She initially, without naming the Chacko, said an actor misbehaved with her and was seen spitting some white powder.

She had complained to the Film Chamber on the condition that the name of the actor should not be revealed.

However, Kerala Film Chamber general secretary Saji Nandiyattu revealed the name of Chacko to the media and promised that action would be taken against him.
