Mumbai, Apr 12: Actor Rana Daggubati has showered praise on the upcoming historical courtroom drama Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, calling it a stirring piece of cinema that resonates deeply with the Indian spirit.
Taking to Instagram, the Baahubali star shared his admiration for the film in a heartfelt post:
“Just watched an incredible historical courtroom drama — Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh. A powerful, important film that stands tall and stays deep with the Indian in you.”
Impressed by the film’s narrative strength and historical relevance, Daggubati pledged to bring the film to Telugu-speaking audiences:

Akshay captioned the post:
“This is not a costume. It’s a symbol — of tradition, of resistance, of truth, of my nation. C. Sankaran Nair didn’t fight with a weapon. He fought the British Empire with the law — and with fire in his soul. This 18th APRIL, we bring you the court trial they never taught in textbooks. #KesariChapter2 #SankaranVsTheEmpire Only In cinemas.”
Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film is backed by a powerhouse production team including Hiroo Yash Johar, Karan Johar, Aruna Bhatia, and Adar Poonawalla.
The ensemble cast features R. Madhavan as Advocate Neville McKinley, Ananya Panday as Dilreet Gill, Regina Cassandra as Palat Kunhimalu Amma (Sankaran Nair’s wife), and Simon Paisley Day as the infamous General Reginald Dyer.
Kesari Chapter 2 hits theatres nationwide on April 18, promising to bring to life a dramatic and overlooked chapter of India’s fight for freedom.
