Immense experience in hand, if given a good story and a different role, they can really do wonders.
Kesari 2 is just the proof you need to look at: sharp, hard-hitting, refreshing, and cleverly woven into the franchise, it stands out all the more thanks to focused direction and tight editing.
Set in the pre-Independence era, the story revolves around C Sankaran Nair, an Indian advocate who believes courts are more about winning and losing rather than justice itself. He's favored by the British for his track record of winning cases for them. Hoping that he remains their lackey, he's tasked to investigate the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar. But what he finds out numbs and shocks him, promoting him to sue the Crown and General Dyer for genocide.

Patel at 150: A life in service of the nation
When India gained independence on August 15, 1947, the British left behind a fractured subcontinent that included more than 560 princely states. Without geographical unity, its hard-won freedom would have been hollow. With vision, determination, and an unyielding will, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, India’s first deputy prime minister and home minister, forged these scattered principalities into a single nation, giving independent India its shape and strength. However, the efforts of this great unifier did not receive the recognition he deserved.
