Kesari Chapter 2, scheduled for release on April 18, is directed by Karan Singh Tyagi. The movie promises to provide a gripping portrayal of the events surrounding the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre and the subsequent legal battle that ensued, offering viewers a glimpse into a significant period in India's struggle for independence.
