About Chhaava
Chhaava stars Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. It brings to life the courageous Maratha ruler's story, starting with his coronation in 1681.
The film also stars Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandana. However, it has been surrounded by controversy, with a dance sequence featuring the character of Sambhaji Maharaj performing the Lezim, a traditional Maharashtrian dance, being removed after objections from political figures, including Maharashtra Minister Uday Samant.
The film minted ₹33.10 crores at the Indian box office on day 1. The current worldwide box office haul stands at ₹145 crore, as per the film's producers.
While the film's journey to the screen hasn't been without its challenges, Vicky Kaushal is proud of the work he has put into the character, saying, "I'm just happy that I get to say that this is the toughest role I've played till date. I hope I can continue to grow, not just as an actor but as a human being, with every role I take on."
