Pinkvilla exclusively informed you earlier this year in September that Akshay Kumar, R. Madhavan, and Ananya Panday's film based on the life of C. Sankaran Nair would tentatively release in the first half of 2025. Raising anticipation, the makers have now dropped the official announcement, revealing March 14, 2025, as the official release date.

Today, the official Instagram handle of Dharma Movies announced their upcoming film. In the official post, it has been revealed that the yet "untitled film" will unveil the "shocking cover-up of a massacre that pushed India's top barrister C.Sankaran Nair to fight an unprecedented battle against the British Empire."

The post further revealed that the film is inspired by real-life events and adapted from Raghu Palat and Pushpa Palat's authored book, The Case That Shook The Empire.

For the unversed, the movie will be based on Nair's legendary courtroom battle against Michael Francis O'Dwyer of the British Empire in the pursuit of finding the truth about the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.

C Sankaran Nair Biopic is a film close to the heart of Akshay Kumar and everyone at Dharma, as it’s a story that deserves to be told on celluloid. The core plot of the film features Akshay Kumar taking down the Empire to finally recognize the horrors of the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre being committed by the British in India," a source close to the development exclusively shared with us earlier.

"The post-production work is going on in full swing, as the makers are leaving no stone unturned to recreate India and London from the era gone by,” the source further added.

Notably, back in 2021, Karan Johar originally announced that he would be producing a movie based on the life of Nair.
