Megastar Akshay Kumar has shared the first part of the behind the scenes making of his upcoming period drama, Kesari, titled ‘Preparing For Battle Part 1’ which shows the gruelling journey the superstar endured.
The behind the scenes video opens with a dialogue from the film, to which Akshay Kumar replies ‘’Chal Jhuta’’, heightening the level of excitement for the film with the actors’ ‘one-liners’.
Akshay Kumar said in the video: “I had the best time doing action for Kesari because they were raw. The very premise of the film is something that swells my chest with pride. There are two major action sequences the film has. Spiti was a beautiful place but it had it own challenges - high altitude and low oxygen. The action choreography was quite difficult. Also, to recreate a battle that took place in 1897, we had to learn the traditional battle style then.
The video is about Akshay Kumar shooting the film, under intense circumstances with his custom attire and the transformation into Havildar Ishar Singh. It captures the sheer hard work Akshay Kumar and the team has put into Kesari, the training they underwent to be able to make the Battle of Saragarhi look ethical and as real as possible.
Director Anurag Singh also said, “The most interesting scene to choreograph was the climax when Akshay sir takes the sword and fights. The guys are storming into the fort and he is standing there alone... that was something.”
