25^th March 2025: Dharma Productions, Cape of Good Films, and Leo Media Collective have unveiled a groundbreaking teaser for Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi. Starring Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday, this daring teaser challenges traditional formats with an unprecedented 30-second opening, featuring no visuals, no logo, and no title. Instead, it relies solely on sound to immerse audiences in the chaos and horror of the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

This is not just an absence of visuals, it’s sensory storytelling at its most powerful. Gunshots, screams, and rising tension create an atmosphere so intense that it grips viewers before they even see a single frame. This is sensory storytelling at its boldest.

Akshay Kumar stars as Sir C. Sankaran Nair, the fearless lawyer who dared to take on the British Empire in the wake of a national tragedy. Adding gravitas to the teaser, we have a voiceover that lands like a punch: “Don’t forget that you’re still a slave to the British Empire.”

This teaser isn’t just a preview, it’s a statement. It defies the traditional formula, proving that sometimes the most powerful visuals are the ones created in the mind. Adapted from the book, ‘The Case That Shook The Empire’, written by Pushpa Palat and Raghu Palat, Kesari Chapter 2 with its bold approach, sets a new benchmark for Indian cinema.

Kesari Chapter 2 hits theatres on 18th April 2025.

March 25, 2025:This World Tuberculosis Day, the theme ‘Yes! We Can End TB’ highlights the urgent need to strengthen efforts against one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases. Despite being preventable and curable, TB continues to affect millions, with those in underserved communities often facing the greatest barriers to timely diagnosis and care.

India accounts for nearly 27% of the global TB burden, according to WHO. While progress has been made in improving diagnosis and treatment accessibility, recovery from TB requires consistent care and support. At MedRabbits Healthcare, we recognize that proper nursing care and dedicated attendants are essential in ensuring patients adhere to treatment, receive the right nutrition, and regain their strength in a supportive environment.

Amol Deshmukh, CEO and Founder-MedRabbits Healthcare

Community-based healthcare plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges. Home-based nursing care and trained attendants can support patients by ensuring adherence to medication, monitoring recovery, and assisting with daily needs. This not only improves health outcomes but also helps reduce the strain on healthcare facilities by enabling continued care at home.

Ending TB requires collective action, strengthening healthcare accessibility, ensuring continuous patient support, and promoting awareness. By prioritizing comprehensive care, we can move closer to a future where TB is no longer a public health threat.”
