Kesari 2: Is a Sequel to Akshay Kumar’s Epic War Drama on the Horizon?
When Kesari hit theaters in 2019, it didn’t just tell the story of one of the bravest battles in Indian history — it became a cinematic tribute to patriotism, valor, and sacrifice. Starring Akshay Kumar as Havildar Ishar Singh, the film depicted the legendary Battle of Saragarhi where 21 Sikh soldiers fought against thousands of Afghan invaders in 1897.
Naturally, fans are now wondering: Is a Kesari 2 in the works?
As of now, there’s no official confirmation from Dharma Productions or Akshay Kumar about a sequel. However, with Kesari’s critical and commercial success, there’s definitely potential for a follow-up.
1. A Prequel: Rise of Havildar Ishar Singh
Explore Ishar Singh’s early days, his struggles in the British Indian army, and what made him the legend he became.
2. Post-Saragarhi: The Aftermath
Though the heroes of Saragarhi perished, the aftermath could focus on:
The impact of the battle on colonial India
The families of the martyrs
The shift in British-Indian military relations
3. An Anthology Approach
A new story set in a different era, showcasing another epic moment of Sikh bravery or Indian military history — branded as “Kesari 2” in spirit, if not in direct plot continuation.
What We’d Love to See in Kesari 2

Final Thoughts
While Kesari 2 remains a dream for now, it’s a story waiting to be told — whether as a continuation, a spiritual successor, or another tale of unsung Indian heroes.
Until then, we’ll keep watching that final stand from Kesari on repeat.
