That was the courage we imbibed from Sankaran Nair's story, and it's the same courage we wanted to depict.'
Kesari Chapter 2 is a spiritual sequel to Akshay's 2019 hit film Kesari. He plays lawyer C Sankaran Nair, Madhavan plays his opposing counsel, Neville McKinley, and Ananya plays Dilreet Gill.
