Akshay Kumar recently spoke about the teaser controversy for his next movie, Kesari: Chapter 2. It captures one moment where he uses a vulgar expletive to insult a British officer who cruelly refers to him as a “slave.”
During a press event in New Delhi, Akshay explained the reason behind that choice of dialogue. He said that being called a “slave” was a much worse insult than the cuss word used in the film. He felt the word was necessary to show just how deeply insulting and hurtful that comment was. According to him, the language helps reflect the real anger and pain Indians felt under British rule.
The movie tells the story of Sir C. Sankaran Nair, a gallant Indian lawyer who purportedly stood up to the British after the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. Nair is played by Akshay, and Nair’s valiant legal struggles while trying to procure justice during the bleakest hour in India’s history are shown in the film.
Akshay also said that during those days, people were treated so badly by the British that even stronger reactions would have been understandable. The film aims to show the true feelings of people who stood up against injustice. The use of strong language in that scene helps make the emotions feel real and powerful.
Kesari: Chapter 2 hopes to tell an important story from Indian history, showing the strength and bravery of those who challenged colonial rule. Even if some moments feel intense, they help remind us of the painful truths of the past and the courage it took to fight back.
By sharing this, Akshay Kumar gave fans a better understanding of the film’s message and why certain choices were made in its storytelling.
