Kesari Chapter 2 has hit theatres today (April 18, 2025), which showcases the untold story of Jallianwala Bagh tragedy. At the film’s screening in Mumbai, actor Akshay Kumar had an ardent request for his fans. He urged them not to miss the beginning of the film and emphasised that the audience should arrive on time and not skip the first 10 minutes of Kesari 2.
Speaking to the paparazzi, Akshay, who plays the role of legendary advocate C Sankaran Nair in the film, said, “Media ke dwara main kehna chahta hoon ki jitne bhi log yeh film dekhne aayenge, unse meri haath jod kar binti hai—ki iss film ko jab aap dekhne aaye toh iska beginning mat miss kariye. It is one of the most important films. Yeh film dekhne ka faisla jin logon ne kiya hai, unhe pata chalega ki yeh film ke liye late nahi aaye. Bilkul sahi time par aaye aur film ke 10 minutes hai, waha se film dekhte hue shuru karein.”
(“Through the media, I want to say to everyone coming to watch this film — I humbly request you with folded hands, please don’t miss the beginning of the film. It is one of the most important films. Those who have decided to watch this film will realise that they’ve come at just the right time, not late at all. The first 10 minutes are crucial, so please make sure you start watching right from the beginning.”)
