The film, directed by Anurag Singh, starred Parineeti Chopra as the female lead.

Zee Studios International took the film to 55 territories across the world and is now gearing up to showcase the film in Japan. This will be Akshay's second outing in the territory after PadMan.

Vibha Chopra, Head-Global Syndication and International Film Distribution, ZEE Entertainment, said in a statement, "Kesari is a rare gem that transcends boundaries. It's a tale which will resonate with audiences across the globe and its successful run at the global box office proves that. Japan is not a traditional or a mainstream market like the US, UK or the Middle East and we are excited to see how the diaspora reacts to an acclaimed title like Kesari which was loved globally."

The film will be released in Japan on August 16.
