After Sky Force, Akshay Kumar is all set for his second release of the year, Kesari Chapter 2. The movie, which also stars R Madhavan and Ananya Panday, is slated to release on April 18, 2025. On Tuesday, a screening of the movie was organised in Delhi which was attended by Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Chief Minister of Delhi, Rekha Gupta, and other ministers. Puri took to X to share his review of Kesari Chapter 2.
He wrote, "Kesari Chapter 2 is a powerful, deeply moving and evocative cinematic ode to India's freedom movement and to the martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh. This gripping narrative that transports you into the middle of the courtroom where Akshay Kumar essaying the role of lawyer Sir C. Sankaran Nair Ji, rips apart the web of deceit and lies to bring out the truth of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre is a must watch for every Indian & champion of justice."
"This was one chapter of our history which waited long to unfold. The powerfully unifying message that this movie conveys must reach all Indians across the length and breadth of the country," the Union Minister further wrote.
