We are talking about Kesari which is a film based on the real-life battle of Saragarhi in 1897.

From the rushes, it seems Mark has really nailed down the character of lieutenant colonel. John Haughton. We spoke to him and this is what he has to say, ” It was a great experience working in Kesari. The team was super professional and fun to work with. We shot in extreme conditions but the people were so warm. It was definitely one of the best experiences of my life. Working with Akshay is an absolute pleasure. His level of commitment and professionalism is unbelievable. He is a very warm, humble and sympathetic actor. He is jolly, a true superstar from the heart. I am really looking forward to the release of Kesari and the audience reaction to it. It’s been one hell of an amazing journey. ” Mark recently featured in the John Abraham starrer Parmanu where he played an American spy with great conviction.
