Akshay Kumar arrives with a huge roar in 2019 with the emblazoning trailer of Kesari. The historical war drama is based on the 1897 Battle of Saragarhi, when 21 Sikhs from the British regiment fought 10,000 Afghani invaders and valiantly lost their lives in the battle. Akshay Kumar plays Havaldar Ishar Singh, the leader of the regiment, while Parineeti Chopra plays his wife and the movie's female lead. Kesari is directed by Anurag Singh and is produced by Karan Johar and Akshay Kumar under their banners Dharma Productions and Cape of Good Films respectively. Kesari Trailer: Akshay Kumar and Parineeti Chopra Starrer Tells The Heroic Story of Nation's Unsung Warriors.

Exactly one month before, on February 21, the makers revealed the trailer of the film that has left both Bollywood celebs and fans mighty impressed. From the visuals to the action scenes, there were a lot of factors to be impressed by the Kesari promo, not to ignore Akshay Kumar's bearded, larger-than-life-presence. Kesari Trailer: 5 Things We Absolutely Went Bonkers Over Akshay Kumar’s Bravest Battle Saga.

ICYMI, Here's The Trailer of Kesari:

Keen-eyed Marvel fans would also notice that the trailer offers a sly nod to Deadpool. Didn't get it? What's common between an Indian historical war drama based on real-life incidents and a crazy, fourth-wall breaking R-rated superhero film?

Well, remember this scene in the Kesari trailer?

It is quite similar to that 'sheesh kebab' scene in the opening sequence of the first Deadpool movie.

All that was left was for Akshay to give a wacky narration to his deadly kill move! We don't know if the similarity was deliberate or very coincidental, but it looks cool in both the movies. Wonder what Ryan Reynolds, the star of Deadpool movies, has to say about this!
