Akshay Kumar has confirmed that he wants to work on new chapters of Kesari. The actor will soon be seen in Kesari: Chapter 2, which taps into the dark chapter of the Jallianwalah Bagh massacre by the British. It is beyond what we learned in our history book. The film is inspired by the book written by Sanjay Nayar, who fought the Jallianwalah Bagh massacre case in Britain, and won it. While stating so, Akshay also confirmed Kesari Chapters 3 and 4.
Calling Punjabis brave, very loyal and full of valour, Akshay confirmed that he wished to bring the story of the Jallianwalah Bagh massacre to the public. With it, he also confirmed that he has more stories from Punjab, which he wishes to bring forward through Kesari chapters 3 and 4.
While acknowledging that Punjab has a lot more chapters that the history books ignored, Akshay also spoke about wanting to tap into stories from across India. He believes we have been strong as a Nation and if there is a chapter that goes beyond history books, he wants it to be a part of the Kesari franchise.
Akshay Kumar spoke about the Jallianwalah Bagh massacre case being fought and won in Britain. He pointed out how this was the only case that an Indian lawyer won in front of an English judge. He pointed out how we believed that the firing stopped once the bullets were over, but did not dig deep into the case. He shared how the book that inspired the film taps into much more than what we learned in history books (which were inspired by the story told by the British during their rule).
