A Unique and Intense Teaser
The teaser takes an unconventional approach by opening with no visuals, only featuring chilling sounds of screams, gunfire, and chaos. This 30-second sequence effectively sets a tense and haunting atmosphere, immersing viewers in the tragic historical event.
In the next scene, Akshay Kumar appears in a courtroom, fearlessly taking on the British Empire. When a voice declares, “You are still a slave to the British Empire,” he silences his opponent with just two impactful words ‘F**k You’, hinting at his powerful character in the film.
Karan Johar’s Exciting Announcement
Sharing the teaser on social media, Karan Johar wrote, “When truth roared louder than the empire – a revolution painted in courage was born. #KesariChapter2 TEASER OUT NOW, witness the untold story of Jallianwala Bagh.”
While the original Kesari (2019) depicted the Battle of Saragarhi, where 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment fought against 10,000 Pashtun tribesmen, Kesari Chapter 2 shifts focus to the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, presenting a fresh narrative of India’s fight for freedom.
The first film, starring Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra, was a massive success upon release.
