They will understand the crime they have committed by erasing the history of C Sankaran Nair….”
Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri shared that the youth can take inspiration from the film. “I want the youth to go and watch this movie and draw inspiration from it to show how in very difficult circumstances, we had individuals who stood up and swam against the tide, and that is how we achieved independence. That is how we are what we are today and are going to be one of the largest economies in the world. That’s how we are reclaiming confidence. The Prime Minister spoke about this movie in Hisar yesterday for a good four minutes…”
Puri lauded the effort of Kesari Chapter 2 makers to showcase a “transformational period” of India’s history with the help of brilliant Bollywood artists like Akshay Kumar and R Madhavan.
“We are very privileged to have been given this opportunity to watch this film that not only promises to be, but what I’m sure is a fantastic blockbuster, something which focuses on a transformational period in our history, which takes history out of the history books and with the talent and brilliance of Bollywood brings it to all of you,” said Hardeep Puri.

It’s a great privilege to be able to watch the film 3 days before its release. The Film which promises to break all records. Because I’m a student of history, so what I’m telling you is on the basis of the little I know, but I’m looking forward to being educated,” added Hardeep Singh Puri.
