Movie director Karan Johar has announced Kesari 2, the movie he claims has been produced with "rage and resilience" because there has not been an apology for the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The historical tragedy, which occurred in 1919 under British colonial occupation, remains a sore moment in Indian history, and Johar wishes to convey this unresolved anger in the narrative of the movie.
After the success of Kesari, which recounted the tale of the Battle of Saragarhi, the sequel will delve into themes of sacrifice, justice, and India's fight for dignity. Johar emphasized that the movie is a tribute to the hundreds of lives lost and a reminder of the atrocities of the colonial period.
The announcement has caused a stir of excitement among audiences starving for another gripping historical drama. The production will start later in the year.
