About Kesari 2 

Directed by debutant filmmaker Karan Singh Tyagi, ‘Kesari 2’ is produced under the banners of Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions, Akshay Kumar’s Cape of Good Films, and Anand Tiwari and Amritpal Singh Bindra. While its predecessor, Kesari (2019), depicted the valorous Battle of Saragarhi, the sequel is expected to delve into another significant chapter of history—the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
