The latest song from actor Akshay Kumar’s period drama Kesari launched online Friday afternoon and it is highly patriotic in tone and flavour. Titled Teri Mitti, the new song features Akshay and is crooned by B Praak while Manoj Muntashir has penned the lyrics.

The video opens with slow motion shots of the battle in the movie. It plays to an emotional mood with the video, focussing on a soldiers’ life, his feelings for the country, his love and more. The lyrics, on the other hand, focus on patriotism.

Earlier this month, a behind-the-scenes video of Kesari was released online. In the video, Akshay was heard saying, “I have had one of the best times doing the action sequences for Kesari because they were so raw. It was completely out of the world. The very premise of the film is something which swells my chest with pride.”

Watch the song here:

Starring Parineeti Chopra opposite Akshay Kumar, Kesari is the story of Battle of Saragarhi, fought in September 1897 between the British Indian army’s Sikh regiment and Afghan tribesmen. The British Indian contingent, comprising 21 Sikh soldiers, was attacked by around 10,000 Afghans. The battle is considered by some as one of history’s greatest last-stands. Directed by Anurag Sinha, the film will hit theatres on March 21.
