New Delhi [India], April 15 : Delhi Law Minister Kapil Mishra lauded the makers of Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh for highlighting aspects of India's freedom struggle that were unknown to many.
The film delves into the aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. It features a gripping courtroom showdown between Akshay Kumar, who portrays C Sankaran Nair, and R Madhavan, who portrays Neville McKinley, a lawyer defending the British Crown.
The makers organised the screening of the film in New Delhi on Tuesday. It was attended by several BJP Ministers, including Hardeep Singh Puri, Delhi CM Rekha Gupta, Delhi Minister Manjinder Singh Saini, Delhi Minister Kapil Mishra and others.
After attending the screening of Kesari Chapter 2, Minister Kapil Mishra lauded Akshay Kumar's performance in the film.
"It is an amazing movie. This movie brings to light an aspect of our freedom struggle that people have heard about but do not know the whole thing. Akshay Kumar has performed exceptionally well. I want to thank the makers for showcasing an unspoken truth of Indian freedom struggle," said Kapil Mishra.
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri also lauded the efforts of Kesari Chapter 2 makers to showcase a "transformational period" of India's history with the help of brilliant Bollywood artists like Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan.
"We are very privileged to have been given this opportunity to watch this film that not only promises to be, but what I'm sure is a fantastic blockbuster, something which focuses on a transformational period in our history, which takes history out of the history books and with the talent and brilliance of Bollywood brings it to all of you," said Hardeep Singh Puri.
While addressing the cinemagoers, the Union Minister also urged the attendees not to record the movie as it is an exclusive preview of the film.
The movie is slated for release in theatres worldwide on April 18.
