Akshay Kumar dedicates Kesari to Bharat Ke Veer

The website Bharat Ke Veer was launched two years back on the Valour Day of the CRPF. It was Akshay Kumar’s idea to officially provide a degree of financial security to the kin of our soldiers, who make the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. 

Akshay’s involvement with Barat Ke Veer is deep-rooted and personal as the actor says, “I am an Army man’s son and probably, deep down in my heart, I wanted to follow my father’s footsteps. I stepped into show business, but my heart lies with the armed forces. Whenever I see men and women in uniform, I am filled with pride and also a sense of responsibility.” The actor has now decided to dedicate his movie Kesari, which is set to release on March 21, to the martyrs. 

Shares Akshay, “My producers and I are happy to dedicate Kesari, based on the Battle of Saragarhi, the second bravest battle ever fought, to Bharat Ke Veer. It is a film that showcases valour and the highest degree of desh bhakti. It is a befitting tribute to our soldiers, who have laid down their lives for the nation.” Akshay has also asked the Ministry of Home Affairs to see if part of the Bharat Ke Veer funds can be utilised for the rehabilitation of soldiers who have been wounded in war.
