In the short clip, the viewers can see snatches of the Battle of Saragarhi, one of the most famous battles fought by Sikhs in 1897. The Sikhs soldiers fought against Afghan Orakzai tribesmen in North-West Frontier Province (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa).
The 30-seconds video also showcases a few glimpses of the battle, with soldiers running and roaring brandishing weapons. Earlier this morning, the makers treated the fans to a brand new poster of Akshay Kumar, in which the actor looks feisty and fierce. The poster is close up of Akshay’s character, and can be seen donning a saffron turban with a sword in his hand. Akshay shared the poster on his Instagram account.
Aaj meri pagdi bhi Kesari, jo bahega mera woh lahoo bhi Kesari, aur mera jawaab bhi Kesari.
