Kesari Chapter 2 director Karan Singh Tyagi says Sardar Udham was “A guiding light”
Karan called Sardar Udham “one of the best pieces of art” he has seen so far. He said, “I’ve loved Sardar Udham. In fact, I’ve watched all the movies that depicted the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. I’ve studied all of them. Before Sardar Udham, it was Gandhi, which depicted the tragedy in painstaking detail and in a gut-wrenching manner. The last 20 minutes of Sardar Udham is one of the best pieces of art that I’ve watched in life. It was a guiding light for me. I love Shoojit Sircar and his work.”
Speaking about Vicky Kaushal, who serves as the narrator in Kesari Chapter 2, Karan also praised the actor. He said, “Vicky has a voiceover in the beginning and sets the stage for the story. We didn’t rope him in because of his connection with Sardar Udham. I’m a huge admirer of his work and of the gravitas that his voice holds. The connection just helped. We wanted him because he’s such a fantastic actor. He lent so much gravity and seriousness to the proceedings.”
Kesari Chapter 2, released on April 18, is a follow-up to Akshay Kumar’s 2019 film Kesari and has earned close to Rs. 47 crores in its first week.
