One of the darkest chapters in India’s struggle for independence—the Jallianwala Bagh massacre—continues to evoke deep sorrow and reflection. Now, this pivotal historical event finds a powerful retelling in the Bollywood film Kesari Chapter 2, which carries the evocative tagline, “The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh.”
Starring acclaimed actor Akshay Kumar in the lead, the film features strong supporting performances by R. Madhavan, Ananya Panday, and Regina Cassandra. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and produced by celebrated filmmaker Karan Johar under the banner of Dharma Productions, the film has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike.
Released in theatres on April 18, Kesari Chapter 2 garnered impressive box office numbers and widespread appreciation for its emotional depth, historical narrative, and stellar performances. Riding on this success, the filmmakers have announced the film’s release in Telugu.
The Telugu version will be distributed by the respected Suresh Productions banner and is set for a grand theatrical release on May 23. To build momentum, the makers have unveiled the official Telugu trailer, which has already begun generating buzz among regional audiences.
With its emotionally charged storyline and a focus on one of India’s most haunting historical moments, Kesari Chapter 2 promises to resonate with Telugu-speaking viewers just as deeply as it did with its Hindi-speaking audience.
