Akshay Kumar's next big film is Dharma Productions' Kesari. The movie tells the story of the Battle of Saragarhi that took place in 1987. So far, we only have a few stills of the movie released by the makers to drive our excitement. Now adding fuel to the fire is the latest still published on the occasion of Republic Day today. The stills feature all the 21 soldiers standing around a staircase looking royal. The visual is heart-piercing and just so stunning. We cannot wait to watch this movie in the theatres, already. And we have not even seen the trailer. Salman Khan's Bharat, Akshay Kumar's Kesari, Alia Bhat's Gully Boy - 40 Big Bollywood Movies of 2019 To Watch Out For! Vote For Your Favourite.

While sharing the fresh picture from Kesari on Twitter, Akshay Kumar wrote, "Happy Republic Day.

Akshay wrapped up filming of Kesari in December 2018. Since then the movie's post-production work has been going on in full swing to meet the release date, March 21. Talking about the film, and thanking the film's cast and crew, Parineeti tweeted: "Anytime I watched a war movie, it was the love story of those brave men that kept me going. So proud to be a part of this epic experience! Thank you Akshay sir, Karan Johar and Anurag sir for allowing me to be a part of your vision. You all have made one of the most beautiful movies people will ever see."

Backed by Cape of Good Hope Films and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, Kesari is directed by Anurag Singh.
