The star cast of Kesari Chapter 2, including Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, recently visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar to seek blessings ahead of the film’s release. Their visit was a quiet yet meaningful moment, where the actors stood with folded hands in front of the holy shrine, showing reverence and gratitude.

Akshay Kumar took to Instagram to share a serene image from the visit, captioning it, “Sir jhukaya, sukun paya,” which translates to “Head bowed, found peace.” Ananya Panday also posted a picture from the visit with a spiritual note: “Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh #KesariChapter2.” The post quickly went viral, with fans praising the humility and devotion shown by the actors.

The Jallianwala Bagh massacre, which took place on April 13, 1919, during the Baisakhi festival, saw British troops led by Brigadier General Reginald Dyer open fire on thousands of unarmed Indians protesting against the Rowlatt Act. The protestors were also demanding the release of national leaders Dr. Satyapal and Dr. Saifuddin Kitchlew. According to British records, 291 people died, but Indian estimates suggest over 500 were killed, with 1,650 rounds fired without warning.
