Actor Akshay Kumar has expressed his desire for both the British government and King Charles to watch his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 and ‘acknowledge their mistake.’ Speaking at a press conference for the film, Akshay shared that his father used to recount stories to him about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Directed by debutant Karan Singh Tyagi, the film stars Akshay as C Sankaran Nair, the lawyer who fought a legal battle against General Dyer and the British Raj after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in 1919.
“I'm not here with a begging bowl to say, ‘They should say sorry’. I want them to at least watch this movie and realise the mistake. Other things will flow (adsbygoogle = window.

But I want them to watch this film. I want the British government and King Charles to watch this film. They should see what happened.
The rest will follow automatically,” Akshay said at the press conference. Kumar even spoke about the tragic incident and said, “My grandfather witnessed the entire Jallianwala Bagh incident. He had told stories to my father about this, and my father told me.
I have known a lot about the massacre since I was a child, so the film is very special to me. The event has been etched in my mind always..
.The most surprising thing was history doesn’t tell us what we actually need to know.".
