Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre is the spiritual successor of the 2019 blockbuster Kesari. The film is based on the book The Case That Shook the Empire, which depicts the life of C. Shankaran Nair, the British Empire's favourite defence lawyer, who later became their biggest threat in exposing the heinous crime committed by General O'Dyer. The movie also stars R Madhavan as the opposing force, Adv. Neville McKinley, Ananya Panday as Dilreet Gill, and Regina Casandrra. 

The movie was released in cinemas on April 18, 2025, with overwhelmingly positive reviews. Even the word-of-mouth of the film was extremely positive. Yet, the movie underperformed, and it failed to even touch the worldwide gross of Kesari. As Sacnilk reported, Kesari 2 grossed Rs 144 crores lifetime. Whereas Kesari grossed Rs 208 crores. 

Speaking about the OTT release, Akshay said, "Portraying C. Sankaran Nair was a deeply humbling experience, a reminder of how courage and conviction can shake even the mightiest powers. This film isn’t just a courtroom drama; it’s a tribute to truth, resistance, and the spirit of India. I’m proud that after its successful theatrical run, this powerful story will now reach even more viewers as it streams on JioHotstar from June 13th."
