Published by

KKN Gurugram Desk | In a heartwarming turn of events, the upcoming film Kesari 2, starring Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Pandey, has gained significant attention ahead of its release on April 18, 2025. The movie is set to depict the untold story of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre that shook India on April 13, 1919, and is stirring up curiosity among audiences. With its patriotic theme and gripping storytelling, the film’s trailer has already captured the attention of viewers.

The Untold Story of Shankaran Nair in Kesari 2

Kesari 2 focuses on a pivotal yet largely forgotten figure in the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, C. Shankaran Nair, a well-respected lawyer during British colonial rule. This film will shed light on his courageous stance in the aftermath of the massacre and bring his story to the forefront. Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself has extended his support to the movie, acknowledging Nair’s significant contribution to the country’s fight for independence.

PM Modi’s Tribute to Shankaran Nair

In a recent event held on the occasion of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar’s birth anniversary, Prime Minister Modi paid tribute to the 106th anniversary of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. He emphasized that while the massacre profoundly impacted the nation, there was one critical aspect that had long been forgotten: the role of C. Shankaran Nair in challenging British rule.

PM Modi stated that Shankaran Nair, a prominent lawyer at the time, was in a prestigious position within the British administration. However, upon witnessing the horrific events at Jallianwala Bagh, he not only resigned from his post but also boldly raised his voice against the British atrocities in court. Modi highlighted that Nair’s fearless pursuit of justice played a crucial role in the fight for India’s freedom.

Shankaran Nair’s Challenge to the British

PM Modi further recalled how Shankaran Nair courageously took on the British government in court, presenting a defiant challenge against their tyrannical actions. This spirit of resistance, according to the Prime Minister, became a source of inspiration for the Indian independence movement and motivated countless young Indians to stand up for justice.

In his speech, Modi described this as the “true spirit of freedom,” a sentiment that continues to inspire India’s journey towards becoming a developed nation. His words underscored the idea that the sacrifices made during the independence struggle were essential for the progress of modern India.

Akshay Kumar Thanks PM Modi for Recognizing Nair’s Legacy

Akshay Kumar, who portrays the character of Shankaran Nair in Kesari 2, took to social media to express his gratitude to Prime Minister Modi for acknowledging the historical figure’s contribution. He stated, “I am deeply grateful to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for remembering the great Shankaran Nair and his invaluable contributions to our country. It is crucial for the younger generation to understand that our freedom was not achieved effortlessly.”

Kumar continued, “Through our film, Kesari 2, we aim to show that we must never take our freedom for granted.” His heartfelt appreciation not only reflects his respect for Nair but also reinforces the film’s core message – that the sacrifice and struggles of past freedom fighters must never be overlooked.

Kesari 2 – A Historical Experience

Even before its release, Kesari 2 is being celebrated as more than just a film. With its portrayal of unsung heroes like Shankaran Nair and its connection to the Jallianwala Bagh tragedy, the film is expected to provide a historical experience for viewers. The recognition it has received from national leaders, especially PM Modi, has added another layer of importance to the movie, amplifying its potential to become a significant part of India’s cinematic and historical legacy.

The film’s release on April 18, 2025, promises to be a momentous occasion, and anticipation is building among audiences. With its focus on patriotism, historical justice, and the struggles of freedom fighters, Kesari 2 is poised to be a powerful reminder of India’s past and a tribute to those who shaped its present.

In a time when historical narratives are often overshadowed by entertainment-driven content, Kesari 2 stands out as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by unsung heroes like Shankaran Nair. The film not only revisits a dark chapter in Indian history but also inspires a new generation to cherish the hard-earned freedom we enjoy today. With the backing of prominent figures like PM Modi and Akshay Kumar’s dedicated performance, Kesari 2 is set to be a defining moment in Indian cinema.
