The tragic terrorist attack at Baisaran meadow in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, has shaken the nation to its core. Among those expressing outrage is acclaimed actor R.

The Rocketry actor, known for voicing his thoughts with sincerity and conviction, did not hold back as he reacted to what is being described as one of the deadliest attacks in the Kashmir Valley since the 2019 Pulwama tragedy.

“Horrified. Dismayed. Aghast. Deep shock and sadness. Heartbreaking #PahalgamAttack,” Madhavan wrote in a hard-hitting Instagram post. “Anger, Wrath, Revenge and retribution, Payback!! Decimate, Annihilate, Set an example. Coward perpetrators.” His post resonated with thousands across the country, many echoing his emotions in the comments, demanding swift justice for the victims and their families.

The attack has prompted a stern response from the central government, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration initiating a series of diplomatic and strategic measures against Pakistan. These include the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty and the closure of the integrated checkpost at Attari, signaling a major shift in India’s bilateral relations with its neighbor.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Madhavan continues to shine. He is currently seen in Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, a historical courtroom drama that has garnered widespread acclaim. The film, co-produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films, serves as a spiritual successor to the 2019 Akshay Kumar hit Kesari.

In the film, Madhavan plays British barrister Neville McKinley opposite Akshay Kumar’s portrayal of Advocate C. Sankaran Nair—the man who famously challenged the British Empire after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The film also stars Ananya Panday, Regina Cassandra, and Simon Paisley Day.

Though the film continues to earn praise, the country’s mood is somber. In light of the Pahalgam tragedy, even the world of cinema has paused to reflect, mourn, and call for justice.
