Today, Akshay Kumar shared a powerful poster from the film on Instagram. Donning a traditional Kathakali attire, he was captured mid-stance. Akshay’s caption read, “This is not a costume. It’s a symbol — of tradition, of resistance, of truth, of my nation. C. Sankaran Nair didn’t fight with a weapon. He fought the British Empire with the law — and with fire in his soul.”
