The trailer gave twitter goosebumps; the Sikhs chose to fight till death and defended the post at Saragarhi. The battle is considered to be one of the greatest battles ever fought in history.

Makers had released the teaser of the film earlier this month.

Earlier, the film was on hold as the actor had confirmed that it would take around three to four years to complete 'Sons of Sardar: Battle of Saragarhi', because of the scale at which the production house is trying to make the film, saying "another level all together".

‘Kesari' is directed by popular Punjabi director Anurag Singh.
