Akshay Kumar is known for bringing some of the most heroic stories from our history to the big screen. Be it Toilet: Ek Prem Katha, Padman or Gold and Mission Mangal. The actor has always done the roles justice. He did the same with his portrayal of Shankaran Nair in Kesari: Chapter 2.

Akshay Kumar talks about the Pahalgam attack

Akshay Kumar appeared at the screening of his film, Kesari: Chapter 2 at a cinema hall in Mumbai on April 26, 2025. He was accompanied by his co-star, R Madhavan. Post the film, Akshay took centre stage and addressed the terrifying attack that took place in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir on the afternoon of April 22, 2025. The actor shared that while making the film, he and the director, Karan Singh Tyagi, were thinking that after the attack, people must have felt extremely angry. He was quoted as saying:

"Main aap logo ko batana chahta hun ki iss film ko jab hum picturise kar rahe the, film bana rahe the, toh har ek scene ke andar, me and the director and we all were realising ki uss wakt Jallianwala Bagh ke baad kitna gussa raha hoga har ek ke mann mein. Har ek ke dil mein kitna gussa raha hoga."

In the same conversation, Akshay Kumar further shared another instance that had unfortunately presented itself, leaving everyone enraged. He then asked the audience if they knew what he was talking about. Akshay revealed that there was only one thing he wanted to say to those terrorists. He was quoted as saying:

"Mujhe lagta hai, unfortunately, aaj bhi humaare sab ke dil mein woh gussa fir se jaaga hai and hum… aap log sab acchhi tarah se jaante hain main kiski baat kar raha hun. Aaj bhi hum unn terroriston ko, unn logo ko ek hi baat kehna chahenge, jo maine iss film mein kahi hai. Kya?"

However, Akshay didn't say the dialogue himself. He turned the mic to the audience, and the theatre echoed with the same dialogue that Akshay's character had screamed at General Reginald Dyer for calling a slave to the British empire. The audience was unanimously quoted as screaming:

"F**K You."
