Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, Ananya Panday's untitled film on C Sankaran Nair's life gets a release date

After delivering successful collaborations like Kesari and Good Newwz, Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar are reuniting for a compelling new project, a film based on the life of renowned barrister C. Sankaran Nair. Set against the backdrop of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, the film will explore a significant legal battle in Indian history. Directed by Karan Singh Tyagi, the courtroom drama boasts a stellar cast, with R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday joining Akshay Kumar in key roles.

Dharma Productions recently unveiled the film’s release date, announcing that the untitled project will hit theaters on March 14, 2025. Sharing an official poster, Dharma wrote, "THE UNTITLED FILM on the shocking cover-up of a massacre that led India's top barrister, C. SANKARAN NAIR, to fight an unprecedented legal battle against the British Empire. Inspired by real events and adapted from the book The Case That Shook The Empire by Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat."

The film holds a special place for Akshay Kumar and the team at Dharma Productions, as it tells a story that has immense historical importance. The plot centers on C. Sankaran Nair’s fight to expose the truth behind the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, pushing the British government to acknowledge the atrocity. According to sources, the post-production work is in full swing, with the makers meticulously recreating the look and feel of India and London from that time period.

Audiences can expect an intense courtroom drama with a gripping narrative, as this case was one of the longest trials in history. The biopic promises to shine a light on a lesser-known but crucial figure in India’s freedom struggle, portrayed by Akshay Kumar in what is expected to be a powerful performance.

In addition to this film, Akshay Kumar is gearing up for several other major releases, including Housefull 5 and Welcome to the Jungle. Meanwhile, Ananya Panday, fresh off the success of her recent film Ctrl, has exciting projects lined up. R. Madhavan, who is also part of the ensemble cast, will next be seen in an untitled film directed by Aditya Dhar, alongside Akshaye Khanna, Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and Arjun Rampal.

With such a talented team behind it, the untitled C. Sankaran Nair's film is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated films of 2025.
