The wait is over! The makers of ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ have finally released the teaser of the awaited film. Starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, the film has Karan Singh Tyagi at the helm. Set against the tumultuous and tragic incident of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, that shook the nation, the film promises to be a charged narrative. Presenting another side to the dark chapter of national history, Kumar stars as the fearless lawyer Sir C Sankaran Nair.

The teaser of ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ starts in an uncustomary way. Without showing any visuals, a thirty-second bitch-black segment features sounds of desperate and helpless cries and shrills. As sounds of gunshots and piercing knives overpower the helpless, the audio impact sends chills down the spine. The makers emphasise that while this was just a 30-second reminder about the deadly massacre, the harrowing killings lasted for ten minutes.
