After Namastey England, Parineeti Chopra starts Kesari shoot

Actress Parineeti Chopra, who kicked off the first shooting schedule of Namastey England a couple of days back, has now started shooting for her another upcoming film, Kesari. Starring Akshay Kumar in the lead role, the movie is based on the famous battle of Saragarhi fought in 1897.

On Tuesday, the actress took to her Instagram account and shared a photograph from an aircraft and wrote, "Off for Kesari." The actress also revealed that the photograph was taken by her co-star, Akshay Kumar. After sharing the photograph, Chopra also shared a video, captioning, "Sigh. The beauty of Wai. 'Kesari'."


For the uninitiated, Wai is in the Satara District in Maharashtra where the film is currently being shot.

Produced by filmmaker Karan Johar under his banner, Dharma Productions, Kesari is being helmed by Anurag Singh. The film marks Singh’s directorial debut in Bollywood.
