Conclusion
The film draws inspiration from The Case That Shook the Empire, co-authored by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat—descendants of Sir Sankaran Nair. Set in colonial India following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, the story centers on Nair’s landmark defamation case against Michael O’Dwyer, the then Lieutenant Governor of Punjab, sparked by Nair’s criticism of British actions in his 1922 book Gandhi and Anarchy.
Akshay shared his thoughts on Kesari Chapter 2 via Instagram, writing, “You may have heard many stories, but this one is a storm. The story of Shankaran Nair truly shook me — I had no idea that someone had the courage to take the entire British Empire to court after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. I’m doing Kesari Chapter 2 not just as an actor, but as an Indian. This isn’t just a film… it’s an unresolved chapter, a painful memory… and above all — it’s justice.”
