Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar released the much-awaited trailer of his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story Of Jallianwala Bagh, co-starring Ananya Panday and R Madhavan, in New Delhi on Thursday. During the trailer launch event, he made a big revelation about wanting to expand the Kesari franchise by making movies on “brave people of Punjab” and sharing it with people. He wants to do so since India’s history is mostly written as per British people.

According to media reports, speaking about his decision, he added that the third part of the film will be based on the life of Hari Singh Nalwa, the first commander-in-chief of the Sikh Khalsa Fauj, the army of the Sikh Empire. Expressing his excitement over starting preparation for Kesari 3, Indian Express quoted him adding, “Aaj subah hi baat karahe the iss baare mein. We are thinking of making it on Hari Singh Nalwa, what do you guys say? Punjab ka roop dikhaayenge sabko.”

For those who don’t know, Hari Singh Nalwa was a Sikh commander in Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s army. While he served as a Governor of Kashmir, Hazara and Peshawar, he gained popularity for his triumphs against the Afghans. He played a significant role in blocking Afghan attacks on Punjab through the Khyber Pass. Reportedly, he also played a major role in battles of Kasur, Sialkot, Attock, Multan, Kashmir, Peshawar, and Jamrud.

Apart from Kesari 3, Kumar expressed his desire to work in more installments of the franchise. He said, “I want to tell everyone about the brave people of Punjab. I want to make Kesari 3 and Kesari 4 also. There are so many chapters. We can make several films. I want to bring out this valor because such things are not written in our history books either. Our history books are written as per the British people.”
