“Unfortunately aaj bhi humare sab ke dil mein woh gussa phir se jaaga hai. Aap sab log achchi tarah se jaante he main kis cheez ki baat kar raha hoon. Today I want to say the same few words to the terrorists which I have said in the film. What?’ Akshay Kumar said.
“F**k you,” the audience responded in unison reflecting the raw emotion and defiance portrayed in Kesari Chapter 2, a courtroom drama based on the book ‘The Case That Shook the Empire’ by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat. The film centers on the historical figure C. Sankaran Nair, portrayed by Akshay Kumar, a lawyer who challenged the British Raj to expose the truth behind the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
Akshay Kumar had earlier voiced his outrage over the Pahalgam attack on X, writing, “Horrified to know of the terror attack on tourists in Pahalgam. Sheer evil to kill innocent people like this. Prayers for their families.”
R. Madhavan, who stood beside Akshay during the address, also connected with the audience, though the spotlight remained on Akshay’s powerful message.
