Akshay Kumar wants the British government and King Charles to watch Kesari: Chapter 2, a film based on the Jallianwala Bagh massacre and lawyer C. Sankaran Nair’s fight for justice. He believes the film will naturally lead to long-overdue recognition and an apology for the tragedy.

Akshay Kumar is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, Kesari: Chapter 2. In the movie, Kumar plays the role of lawyer C. Sankaran Nair, who famously fought against the British following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The massacre remains one of the most devastating tragedies in the history of India’s freedom struggle, where men, women, and children were brutally killed by British forces.
At a recent press conference for the film, Akshay said that Kesari: Chapter 2 is a movie that must be watched by the British government and King Charles.
