Twitter loves Akshay Kumar’s first look from Kesari and says it’s “epic.” Some made a reference to Akshay’s Singh Is Kinng persona, saying: “Singh Is Kinng days will be back.” On Friday morning, ‘#Kesari’ became one of the top spots on Twitter within minutes of the look being shared.
Directed by Anurag Singh, Kesari is Akshay Kumar’s first collaboration with Karan Johar and is based on the 1879 Battle of Saragarhi. Interestingly, Bollywood is looking at two more films on the same subject – Ajay Devgn’s Sons Of Sardaar and Randeep Hooda’s The Battle of Saragarhi.
Akshay Kumar’s first release this year will be PadMan – on January 26, and Kesari will arrive in theatres during Holi.
