Mumbai: Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Kesari’ trailer has been released. In the 3.04-minute trailer, Akshay Kumar is seen playing Havildar Ishar Singh, a Sikh soldier who fought the Battle of Saragarhi.
The film also features Parineeti Chopra. In the fight, 21 Sikhs, who were part of British Indian Army, fought valiantly against 10,000 Afghan Orakzai Tribesmen in North-West Frontier Province in 1897.
Take a look at the trailer of the film shared by the makers here:
Akshay Kumar will be seen in the lead in the role of Ihsar Singh in the film. 12 September 1897, in the leadership of Havildar Ishar Singh, the Sikh Regiment had fought for ten hours with the troops of the Afghani army in Saragarhi (North Western Frontier Province).
The regiment knew that the fight was not easy because the number of soldiers was very high, but still they remained in the ground and did not give up till the end.
An incredible true story of valour, sacrifice & bravery – told like never before! #KesariTrailer out now – https://t.co/eDqk8Lts6t@ParineetiChopra @SinghAnurag79 @karanjohar @apoorvamehta18 @SunirKheterpal @DharmaMovies #CapeOfGoodFilms @iAmAzure @ZeeStudios_ #Kesari
