According to reports, the historical drama has outperformed many of Akshay's recent content-driven films like Mission Raniganj , Sarfira, and Khel Khel Mein. Kesari 2 has reprotedly done 'significantly better', especially considering its limited release strategy. Directed by newcomer Karan Singh Tyagi , the film, which sheds light on the untold aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, has struck a chord with audiences and is already making its presence felt at the box office. According to the director, the seed for 'Kesari Chapter 2' was planted when he came across a compelling book titled 'Case That Shook the Empire', authored by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat, descendants of C. Sankaran Nair, the central figure of the film. After a lengthy script-writing process, it caught the attention of Karan Johar , who came on board as producer. Soon after, Akshay aligned with the project, impressed by its powerful narrative. "He loved how we honoured both the victims of the massacre and the courage of Sankaran Nair," Tyagi said and added, "It took nearly three years of deep research and location scouting. But we knew this story had to be told with sensitivity and authenticity."
