Akshay Kumar-starrer Kesari Chapter 2 is bringing forth one of the biggest legal battles fought in our country's history. The actor plays lawyer C Sankaran Nair who challenged the crown for their inaction on General Dyer for his action in the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh Massacre. Recently, a video of Dyer's granddaughter surfaced where she was with the family of a victim of the massacre and called the victim a ‘looter’. Reacting strongly to it, filmmaker Karan Johar expressed his anger.

At a press conference held for Kesari Chapter 2, when asked if he had seen the video, Karan Johar agreed and said, “Not just as an Indian or as a humanitarian, but anyone who has an iota of empathy or humanity within themselves, it will anger you.”

The filmmaker added, “I don't want to mince my words, be diplomatic in my answer or certainly beat around the bush when I say, how ridiculous she is to say that and how dare she? She was calling those thousands of people looters? They were innocent people who conglomerated right there for what was meant to be the auspicious day of Baisakhi, thinking something else was going to be the eventuality of the day and look what happened.”
