After Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered lawyer-nationalist C Sankaran Nair for his fight against Britishers after the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri hailed about Kesari 2. In a long post on X, formerly Twitter, Puri called Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘powerful’ and ‘deeply moving.’

Hardeep Singh Puri praises Akshay Kumar's film

Puri wrote, "Kesari Chapter 2 is a powerful, deeply moving and evocative cinematic ode to India's freedom movement and to the martyrs of Jallianwala Bagh. This gripping narrative that transports you into the middle of the courtroom where Akshay Kumar essaying the role of lawyer Sir C. Sankaran Nair Ji, rips apart the web of deceit and lies to bring out the truth of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre is a must watch for every Indian & champion of justice.

“This was one chapter of our history which waited long to unfold. The powerfully unifying message that this movie conveys must reach all Indians across the length and breadth of the country.”

After the screening of the film in Delhi, Hardeep Singh Puri told ANI, “I want the youth to go and watch this movie, draw inspiration from it, to show how in very difficult circumstances we had individuals who stood up and swam against the tide, and that is how we achieved independence. That is how what we are today and going to be one of the largest economies in the world. That's how we are reclaiming confidence.”

Talking about PM Modi's mention of the film during the recent public gathering in Haryana, he said, "The Prime Minister spoke about this movie in Hisar yesterday for a good four minutes... Congress has been so busy promoting their family that they have lost sight of the larger reality and what is really important in so far as the country's growth is concerned..."

Kesari 2 also stars Ananya Panday and R Madhavan.

The film will release on 18 April.
