It is a big insult to be called ‘Ghulam’: Akshay on ‘F *** U’ line in Kesari 2
Akshay Kumar addressed the media at the trailer launch of ‘Kesari 2’, and commented on his character using a cusec in the film. Watch the video inside.
Actor Akshay Kumar released the trailer of ‘Kesari 2’ in Delhi on Thursday. During media conversation in the same incident, he answered a journalist’s question about using a CUSS word in the film. The actor, who plays lawyer S Shankaran Nair in the film, says ‘F *** U’ in one scene, which is included in the teaser. When asked to comment on this, Kumar said that a big problem was calling us ‘slave’ with him.
‘Kesari 2’ is based on the Jalianwala Bagh massacre, where the British Army opened in the crowd, killed more than 1500 people, and more than 1200 others were injured. Kumar mentioned the same incident, also known as the Amritsar genocide, and asked the journalist that people should have great objections to the British calling Indians to ‘slaves’.
He said, “Yes, I used the word. Interestingly, Madam, you paid attention to it, but the fact that he used the word ‘Das’ – it was not a big insult to you. I think it’s not much humiliation than this.”

Kumar said, “Honestly, I would have been happy if you told that he had used the word ‘Das’ instead of focusing on ‘F *** U’, because in my opinion, if he had shot me in that moment, he would still leave me.”
