Karan Johar addressed a lot of things related to the film industry while appearing for an interview recently with Komal Nahta. Notably, the popular director was spotted speaking about Akshay Kumar and his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2.
Karan was questioned about a chapter from history that he would like to explore and he simply replied by saying, Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. Karan said that the incident will be the main topic of Kesari Chapter 2 and he revealed everything about the film, including the cast members and the person who is directing it.

Kesari Chapter 2 will even feature R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday among the leads and it will be helmed by a debut director named Karan Singh Tyagi. The film will cover the story of an individual named Sankaran Nair, who fought against the British to reveal the unknown facts about the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre.

Considering that Karan is making a big statement about the film, it remains to be seen if it will leave a positive impression on anyone.
Akshay is already going through a bad phase since he has been delivering a lineup of disasters since 2022. His last film Sky Force is reported to have done good. But it is still a failure in terms of collections and the numbers have been allegedly inflated through corporate bookings and discounted ticket prices.

The response to Kesari Chapter 2 has to be extraordinary if it has to become successful. While it is not a direct sequel to the 2019 film Kesari, the popularity of the title is expected to attract a lot of people.
Kesari Chapter 2 is coming on April 18, 2025, and with less than two months left for release, it has not created enough buzz. Moreover, Akshay’s overexposure by doing multiple films every year might have a bad impact on the overall collections.
