After a commanding run at the theatres, Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh will stream exclusively on JioHotstar from June 13th. With a star-studded cast led by Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, the film earned critical acclaim at the box office and now brings its powerful story to screens across the nation. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, and produced by Hiroo Yash Johar, Aruna Bhatia, Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Amritpal Singh Bindra and Anand Tiwari at Dharma Productions, Cape Of Good Films and Leo Media Collective — the film is an emotionally charged legal drama that revisits one of colonial India’s most defining (and silenced) moments.
Akshay Kumar, essaying the role of C. Sankaran Nair, said, “Kesari Chapter 2 tells
the story of an extraordinary man who chose to stand against an empire, risking everything to bring justice to the victims of one of history’s darkest moments. Portraying C. Sankaran Nair was a deeply humbling experience, a reminder of how courage and conviction can shake even the mightiest powers. This film isn’t just a courtroom drama; it’s a tribute to truth, resistance, and the spirit of India. I’m proud that after its successful theatrical run, this powerful story will now reach even more viewers as it streams on JioHotstar from June 13th.”
