Kesari 2 OTT Release: Kesari Chapter 2, starring Akshay Kumar, is all set for its OTT premiere in India. The latest historical courtroom drama from Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions will be available to stream on JioHotstar. In addition to Kumar, the film features talents such as R. Madhavan, Ananya Panday, Regina Cassandra, Simon Paisley Day, Amit Sial, and more.
Kesari 2 was undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of 2025. While it received strong acclaim from both audiences and critics, it fell short of becoming a blockbuster during its theatrical run. The film earned just over ₹152 crores at the box office, against a sizable budget of ₹150 crores. However, given Akshay Kumar’s recent box office struggles, this performance should be seen as a welcome relief for the actor.
If you missed this spiritual sequel to the 2019 hit in theatres, you’ll soon have a chance to catch it. Kesari Chapter 2 will be available to stream on JioHotstar starting June 13, with a potential extended theatrical run also on the cards. Mark your calendars!
The film resonated strongly with audiences and critics alike, drawing its narrative from real historical events and the book “The Case That Shook the Empire” by Raghu and Pushpa Palat.
In the film, Akshay Kumar portrays C. Sankaran Nair, an Indian statesman and lawyer known for his bold opposition to British rule following the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. Ananya Panday plays Dilreet Gill, a key figure who supports Nair during his legal battle against the British. R. Madhavan stars as Neville McKinley, the British representative who stands in opposition to Kumar’s character. Stay tuned for more updates.
