REVEALED: Parineeti Chopra plays Akshay Kumar’s dead wife in ‘Kesari’

The trailer of Akshay Kumar starrer Kesari was dropped a couple of weeks back and it was loved by the masses. The movie directed by Anurag Singh is based on the historic Battle of Saragarhiand also stars Parineeti Chopra as the female lead. In the trailer, only a short glimpse of the actor was shown and her fans wished to see more of her.

Recently, during a group interaction for Kesari, when Parineeti was asked about her blink-and-miss appearance in the trailer, the actor stated, “Yeah, my character has not been shown much because see, ultimately you and I, we both know the truth that the film is about the boys, it is about the Battle of Saragarhi. So obviously, everybody wants to show that flavour. But, in two days we’re releasing our love song, so in that, I think you’ll get an idea. My character is a small chapter in Akshay sir’s life because the story is about the battle, there’s nothing before and there’s nothing after. But Anurag sir in a very smart way has added this love story into the war but actually, it’s all about the battle.”

On being asked about the details of her character, Parineeti replied, “It’s a Punjabi character. It’s about this Sikh guy who meets a Sardarni. So, the film is about two days, today when I’m discussing that this is going to happen in the planning and tomorrow the actual battle. Kesari is just spread over two days and whenever Akshay Sir’s character is at an emotional point in his decision making or anything, then she comes into his life. I used to be his wife who died and then he always remembers the conversations he used to have with me, our love story, how we met”.

The stunning actor added, “I just wanted to be a part of the film I didn’t care about what role, screen time, these questions didn’t occur to me. I just heard the story and I said I just want to be a part of it. I will be a tree in the background, it’s okay”.

Kesari is slated to release on March 21, 2019, on the occasion of Holi
