The 2019 Kesari was based on the Battle of Saragarhi, where 21 Sikh soldiers of the 36th Sikh Regiment of the British Indian Army fought against 10,000 Afridi and Orakzai Pashtun tribesmen in 1897. Kesari Chapter 2 brings to light the real-life events and the horrific aftermath of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, through the narrative of C. Sankaran Nair, a renowned lawyer and former President of the Indian National Congress. The upcoming Kesari 3 is expected to explore the story of Hari Singh Nalwa, the commander-in-chief of the Sikh Khalsa Fauj.
