Akshay Kumar talks about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre

In the film, Akshay plays C Sankaran Nair, the lawyer who fought a legal battle against General Dyer and the British Raj after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. Speaking about the tragic incident, Akshay said, “My grandfather witnessed the entire Jallianwala Bagh incident. He had told stories to my father about this, and my father told me. I have known a lot about the massacre since I was a child, so the film is very special to me. The event has been etched in my mind always…The most surprising thing was history doesn’t tell us what we actually need to know.”

The actor also shared his thoughts about the British government watching Kesari Chapter 2. “I’m not here with a begging bowl to say, ‘They should say sorry’. I want them to at least watch this movie and realise the mistake. Other things will flow automatically from their mouth. The apology is bound to happen, it will flow on its own. But I want them to watch this film. I want the British government and King Charles to watch this film. They should see what happened. The rest will follow automatically.”
