The Battle Of Saragarhi holds a rather significant place in the pages of Indian history. All 21 Sikh soldiers fought to death in the battle against the Afghans, which is often cited as one of the most memorable examples of military last-stands. Tribute is paid to the war heroes every year as Saragarhi Day is celebrated on September 12 as Regimental Battle Honours Day by the units of the Sikh Regiment of the Indian Army across the globe.
However, the Anurag Singh-directed Kesari is not the only upcoming Bollywood film that’s based on the Battle Of Saragarhi. Ajay Devgn’s Sons Of Sardaar and Randeep Hooda’s The Battle of Saragarhi are also in the making.
