Folks,
that
is
Akshay
Kumar,
promoting
his
new
film,
Kesari
2.
No,
he
does
not
play
a
Kathakali
dancer
in
the
film.
A
courtroom
drama
around
the
1919
Jallianwala
Bagh
tragedy,
Akshay
plays
lawyer
C
Sankaran
Nair,
who
takes
on
the
British
Raj.
‘This
is
not
a
costume.
It’s
a
symbol
—
of
tradition,
of
resistance,
of
truth,
of
my
nation.
C
Sankaran
Nair
didn’t
fight
with
a
weapon.
He
fought
the
British
Empire
with
the
law
—
and
with
fire
in
his
soul,’
Akshay
captions
this
image.
‘This
18th
APRIL,
we
bring
you
the
court
trial
they
never
taught
in
textbooks.’
Kesari
2
also
stars
R
Madhavan,
Ananya
Panday
and
Regena
Cassandrra.
Akshay
has
already
confirmed
a
Kesari
3,
which
will
focus
on
General
Hari
Singh
Nalwa,
the
commander-in-chief
of
the

Khalsa
Fauj.
