With intense performances and a powerful narrative, the film promises to shed light on an often-overlooked chapter of India's struggle for freedom.

An excerpt from the book’s synopsis highlights the significance of this trial:
"The widely-reported trial—one of the longest in history—stunned a world that finally recognised some of the horrors being committed by the British in India. Through reports of court proceedings and a nuanced portrait of a complicated nationalist who believed in his principles above all else, ‘The Case That Shook the Empire’ reveals, for the very first time, the real details of the fateful case that marked the defining moment in India’s struggle for Independence."
With Akshay Kumar leading the charge as C Sankaran Nair, ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ promises to be a powerful courtroom drama that revisits a crucial chapter in India’s fight for justice.
