Before the film’s release, a special screening was held where Akshay Kumar spoke directly to the audience. He asked everyone to avoid using their phones during the film and said, "I humbly request you all to please keep your phones in your pockets and listen to every dialogue of this film. It will mean a lot. If you try to check your Instagram during the movie, it will be a humiliation for the film."

Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, is based on the book The Case That Shook The Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat. The film hit theatres on April 18 and is produced by Dharma Productions, Leo Media Collective, and Cape of Good Films. It serves as a spiritual sequel to Kesari (2019).
