Set in the early 1900s, the film showcases the legendary courtroom battle that proved to the world that Jallianwala Bagh was a case of coldblooded ‘genocide’ and not a suppression of armed and dangerous rioters. And at the heart of the film is Sankaran Nair, a charismatic, larger than life Barrister, to be played on screen by Akshay Kumar.
