Chhaava Controversy Explained: What was the objection to Vicky Kaushal & Rashmika Madanna's film?

Chhaava, a period drama about Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, is causing a stir due to a controversial scene in the trailer where Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna are seen dancing with the `lezim,` a traditional Maharashtrian instrument. This sparked backlash from fans, prompting Maharashtra`s Minister Uday Samant to call for a review. Director Laxman Utekar, after meeting with MNS President Raj Thackeray, decided to remove the sequence to respect public sentiment. The film, also starring Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb, is set to release on February 14, 2025.
