Kesari first look: Akshay Kumar begins shooting for one

It was in October last year that Akshay Kumar and Karan Johar joined hands for an ambitious project Kesari. Based on the battle of Saragarhi, the film has been in news for more than one reason. And after months of wait, the period drama has finally gone on floors.

Akshay took to Twitter to share his first look from Kesari, and wrote, "Feeling nothing but immense pride and gratitude while sharing this. Beginning my 2018 with #KESARI, my most ambitious film and a lot of passion. Need your best wishes as always."

Akshay, who is busy experimenting with roles with each passing film, has yet again picked an interesting storyline for his forthcoming film. With Padman, Gold and 2.0 in his kitty this year, Khiladi Kumar will be seen in a new avatar in Kesari.

Directed by Anurag Singh, the film is set to hit the screens on Holi 2019
