Hyderabad: 

After the release of the gripping teaser earlier this week, the newly revealed character posters provide a closer look at the pivotal roles portrayed by the trio. Akshay Kumar takes centre stage as C Sankaran Nair, a fearless advocate who challenged the British Empire during one of the most turbulent periods in India's colonial history. His first look, marked by a stern and determined expression, is accompanied by the powerful caption: "One man. Against an entire empire."

The upcoming historical drama Kesari Chapter 2 is gearing up for its theatrical release on April 18, and the makers have now heightened the excitement by unveiling the first look of the lead cast. Starring Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, the film promises an intense courtroom battle set against the backdrop of India's fight against British colonial rule.

Her poster shows her in a simple yet striking white saree, holding a legal file, symbolising her dedication to the cause. Her character is described with the words: "Embraced by compassion, fueled by justice."

Kesari Chapter 2 is a sequel to the 2019 film Kesari, which focused on the heroic Battle of Saragarhi in which 21 Sikh soldiers of the British Indian Army fought against 10,000 Pashtun tribesmen. The first film starred Parineeti Chopra alongside Akshay Kumar, but this installment focuses on a hard-hitting courtroom battle inspired by one man's fight against colonial oppression.

The recently released teaser, shared by Dharma Productions, showcases Akshay Kumar's C. Sankaran Nair locked in a fiery courtroom debate with a British judge.
