Now, the star actor, Akshay Kumar, is back with the second chapter of the film, Kesari Chapter 2, to shed light on the painful cries of the victims of 'genocide' carried out by the British Empire. 

Kesari: Chapter 2 leaves Delhi CM, Rekha Gupta, in tears

The early reviews for Kesari: Chapter 2 are now out, and it seems that following the path of Akshay's 2019 film, Kesari, the sequel, Kesari: Chapter 2, could go on to be a milestone in the history of Indian cinema. The reviews for the film have been pouring in, and Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has also shared her views on the film. The politician revealed that the film was marvellous. She added that even though she was not able to watch the full film, she would most definitely come back and watch it. In a conversation with ANI, the CM stated:

"Iss movie ne, jiss tarike se dekhte hue rongte khade kar diye, ki Jallianwala Bagh mein uss din kaise khooni Baisakhi manayi gayi. Aur desh ki azaadi ke liye karodo logo ne apni jaan gawa di aur itehaas ke panno mein kahin ghum ho gaye. Unka naam tak humein nahi maalum. Aur ab, jabki hum apne azaad desh mein saas le paa rahe hain. Hum sabka farz hai ki apne desh ke liye jeena shuru karein, desh ke liye kuchh karna shuru karein. Aur tann samarpit, man samarpit, aur yeh jeevan samarpit, chahti hun desh ki dharti, tujhe kuchh aur bhi du, aur bhi du. Thank you so much, I am very emotional."
