Few weeks left for 'PadMan' to rock the theatres and Khiladi Akshay Kumar shares his exclusive look from the film 'Kesari' on twitter. The year 2018 begins on an "ambitious" note for the 50-year old superstar and he asks best wishes for his upcoming film Kesari that went on floors today.

Sharing his first look from the movie, Akshay tweeted: "Feeling nothing but immense pride and gratitude while sharing this. Beginning my 2018 with #KESARI, my most ambitious film and a lot of passion. Need your best wishes as always."

The producer of the film Karan Johar from Dharma Productions also expressed his thoughts on his upcoming venture tweeting: "Exceptionally excited about #KESARI...the BRAVEST story ever told....we begin our journey today... we seek your love and blessings...." 

It is Akshay Kumar in a never seen before avatar headed with a traditional Sikh pagri and dense beard like a typical vintage Sardar. His intense and death stare look is all over the internet. Helmed by Anurag Singh, 'Kesari' is Akshay Kumar's first film with Karan Johar and is based on the 1879 Battle of Saragarhi.

Meanwhile, Bollywood has two more films on the same subject - Ajay Devgn's 'Sons Of Sardaar' and Randeep Hooda's 'The Battle of Saragarhi'. Salman Khan was also announced to be part the Akshay-Karan collaboration but he reportedly opted out after Ajay requested him to not release another film on the same subject. Till now the release date isn't confirmed yet but the film is rumoured to release in Holi 2019.
