Mumbai, April 18
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..)”
“Kesari Chapter 2 film mein sirf ek kalakaar ki haisiyat se nahin balki ek Bharatiya ke taur par kar raha hoon. Yah sirf ek film nahin… yah ek adhoora hisaab hai, yah ek dardnaak yaad hai… aur aakhirkaar — yah insaaf hai. Kesari Chapter 2 ab aapke nazdeeki cinema gharon mein.”
“(In the film Kesari Chapter 2, I am not acting merely as an artist, but as an Indian.
This is not just a film… this is an unfinished account, this is a painful memory… and finally — this is justice. Kesari Chapter 2 — now in your nearby cinemas.)”
