Mumbai, February 4 - The historic war film Kesari is one of the most iconic movies in Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's filmography. It narrates the story of 21 brave Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment of the British Indian Army who fought with 10,000 Afridi and Orakzai Pashtun tribesmen in 1897 in the Battle of Saragarhi.

Kesari was a big box office success, leading to the high critical acclaim for Akshay and others. The film's title has its legacy, and now, the same is reportedly being used for the Airlift star's next movie on the life of C. Shankaran Nair.



Produced by Dharma Productions, Cape Of Good Films and Leo Media Collective, the film is set against the backdrop of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, and makers are giving it a franchise treatment. According to the report by Peepingmoon.com, C. Shankaran Nair's biopic, which was earlier reportedly titled Shankara, will now be titled Kesari 2 to leverage the established recognition and thematic similarity with its namesake.

"Although this film has no direct connection to Kesari, both films share a common thread of bravery, inspiration, and patriotism as their core elements. Like Kesari, this new film also narrates a significant chapter of history, exploring themes of nationalism and heroism", says the report.

In recent times, the sequels and the franchise movies have worked well at the box office and with Kesari having goodwill, the makers are positioning the biopic as its sequel to get the benefit of the brand and is being considered a strategic move.



Directed by debutante Karan Singh Tyagi, Kesari 2 has reportedly been postponed from its original festive release of March 14. The exact reason for the release postponement is not yet known, and the new release date hasn't been revealed yet, per Peepingmoon.

With the likely postponement of Kesari 2, Akshay's next release will be the highly-awaited Jolly LLB 3 which is scheduled to hit the big screen on April 10. The actor's war action drama Sky Force is currently playing in theatres in its second week and doing well at the box office.
