Parineeti Chopra played a pivotal role in the first chapter.
The lead star, Akshay Kumar, will play the legendary advocate C Sankaran Nair in the film, which will be released on April 18.

Not sure about Ananya in such a heavy role... hope she proves me wrong. The historical accuracy better be on point.

The first part was amazing, but this sequel seems even more powerful with the Jallianwala Bagh storyline. April 18 can't come soon enough!

Madhavan always brings such depth to his characters. That caption "playing for the other side" has me intrigued about his role!
