MUMBAI: After a lot of appreciation for Kesari, the makers came back with Kesari Chapter 2. The announcement of this new chapter garnered a lot of excitement.
Since a while now, audiences have been loving Akshay Kumar’s performances a little more, be it in Sarfira, Khel Khel Mein or Sky Force. The actor gave an amazing performance in the 2019 movie Kesari where he was paired opposite Parineeti Chopra.
The movie was based on the battle of Saragarhi which took place in 1897. The battle was an unforgettable one between 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment of the British India Army and 10,000 Afridi and Orakzai Pashtun tribesmen.
The makers are here with the second chapter and the cast includes Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday. While Kesari was directed by Anurag Singh, this time, Kesari Chapter 2 is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi. The movie will be produced by Dharma Production, Leo Media Collective & Cape of Good Films. This time, the movie is based on the story of the unfortunate Jallianwala Bagh massacre which took place in April, 1919. The movie has hit the theatres and is receiving some really great responses from the audience.
In an exclusive conversation with Tellychakkar, Karan Singh Tyagi was asked about his research and what put him in awe during the process of research. Surely the director gave an eye-opening reply.
Karan Singh Tyagi said, “The biggest thing that put me in awe was that we all know about the massacre but we don’t know the massacre was a conspiracy to kill, we don’t know that the massacre was planned, we don’t know that General Dyer called in special soldiers, Gurkha and Bharuch soldiers to kill innocent people. We don’t know that the Sikh soldiers were kept completely in the dark. We don’t know that an aeroplane flew over the Baug just to check whether enough people had assembled. Toh the conspiracy we had no idea about and I was shocked to read about the conspiracy.”
It’s not over. The director further added, “The second shocking thing was I didn’t know that the British Empire spread lies about the innocent people who in the Baug. They spread lies that those people were armed and that they were terrorists and wanted to create a riot. So that was very shocking. And again, Sankaran Nair and his court case, I had no idea about that. So those were revelations even for me and that’s the reason why we made this movie.”
