Akshay Kumar starrer Kesari 2 highlights lesser-known facts about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre

The trailer of the Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan and Ananya Panday starrer Kesari 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh released today to a positive response. The film brings to screen the lesser-known story of Sir C. Sankaran, a figure not often mentioned in mainstream narratives of India’s freedom struggle. The film focuses on the events that followed the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, highlighting the actions taken by Sankaran in response to one of the most debated tragedies in colonial India.One of the striking elements shown is a detail rarely discussed: at 5 pm on the day of the massacre, an aircraft flew over Jallianwala Bagh. The reasons for this flyover remain uncertain, but it adds a new layer to the timeline of that day.Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the film presents a significantly higher death toll than the officially recorded figure. While British accounts put the number at 379, Kesari 2 puts forward the claim that approximately 1,650 people may have died. The exact number is unknown and may never be conclusively established due to the lack of proper documentation and the chaotic nature of the event.Similarly, various other lesser-known facts and perspectives are expected to be introduced in the film. These include insights into the political climate of the time, regional resistance efforts, and information that does not typically appear in school textbooks or popular retellings of the independence movement. Rather than retelling what is already known, Kesari 2 draws attention to episodes that may have been overlooked or underreported. The film is not positioned as a celebration but rather as a documentation of events and individuals whose stories are not widely known.Produced by Dharma Productions, Cape Of Good Films and Leo Media Collective, Kesari 2 is all set to release in theatres on April 18.Also Read: Kesari Chapter 2 Trailer Out: Akshay Kumar, Ananya Panday and R.
