Kesari Chapter 2 highlights how a man called C Sankaran Nair made sure that the genocide, which was a blot on the British Government, got called out by the world, and he fought a case against General Dyer, which is said to be the longest-running legal battle against the British Government.

The film is a spiritual sequel to Kesari, also starring Akshay Kumar, which was a tale of events leading to the Battle of Saragarhi, a battle between 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment of the British Indian Army and 10,000 Afridi and Orakzai Pashtun tribesmen in 1897. Now, after Kesari Chapter 2, will there be a Kesari Chapter 3 and so on?
Director Karan Singh Tyagi says yes! While he confirms the plans for the next installment in the franchise, the director reveals the reason why it is much needed. Talking to Koimoi, he explained, “Yes. I’m sure. There are many more installments of the Kesari franchise because our country has so many stories. I feel the Kesari franchise will just only go from strength to strength and will tell stories that are reflective of the global country that we are living in.”

Karan also talked about why the film is titled Kesari. He proudly and specifically pointed out, “Kesari for us stands for the color of revolution. Kesari, for us, stands for stories of unsung heroes, stories of bravery, and stories of courage.”
Well, looking at Kesari Chapter 2, which turns out to be such a brilliant piece, we hope that the team starts working on the third installment really soon!
