At the trailer launch of the most anticipated movie of the year, `Chhaava,` which stars Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, & Akshaye Khanna in pivotal roles, it was a grand affair. Vicky said the movie was a blessing, and he was initially scared, but he addressed how he was born and raised in Mumbai and understood Maharashtrian culture more while playing a Maratha warrior. Rashmika, his co-star, said she was privileged to play Maharani Yesubai in the movie. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, Chhaava is a period drama featuring Vicky as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai, and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb. The film is described as a "stirring tale of the courageous warrior whose coronation in 1681 marked the beginning of a legendary reign." The film is an adaptation of the Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant. The film is set to hit theatres on February 14, 2025.
