Akshay Kumar stuns as Kathakali dancer in new look from Kesari 2

Akshay Kumar recently shared a picture of himself in Kathakali attire ahead of the release of Kesari 2. In the film, he will be portraying the role of C Sankaran Nair, the man who fought for justice after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

He shared the picture on his Instagram with the caption, "This is not a costume. It’s a symbol - of tradition, of



resistance, of truth, of my nation. C Sankaran Nair didn’t fight with a weapon. He fought the British Empire with the law - and with fire in his soul. This 18th APRIL, we bring you the court trial they never taught in textbooks (sic)."

For those unversed, in Kathakali, the full green face, also known as Pachcha, depicts noble characters, sages, philosophers, and kings.
