Akshay Kumar Urges British Government to Watch ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ to Acknowledge Colonial Atrocities

Indian actor Akshay Kumar has called on the British government and King Charles to watch his upcoming historical film, Kesari Chapter 2, in hopes that they will recognize the injustices committed during British colonial rule.

Speaking at a press conference, Kumar shared the deeply personal connection he has to the subject of the film. He revealed that his grandfather had witnessed the Jallianwala Bagh massacre—a brutal event that occurred in 1919, when British troops opened fire on unarmed Indian civilians in Amritsar.

“My father used to tell me stories about what happened that day. The memory of that massacre has always stayed with me,” he said. “Unfortunately, history doesn’t always reveal what truly needs to be known.”

In the film, Kumar portrays C. Sankaran Nair, the lawyer who famously challenged General Dyer and the British Raj after the massacre.

When asked about seeking an apology from the British government, Kumar clarified, “I’m not asking for an apology with a begging bowl. I want them to watch this film and understand the gravity of what occurred. Once they see it, the apology should follow on its own.”

He expressed hope that the film would prompt reflection and acknowledgement from British officials about the historical trauma caused during colonial rule.
