Vicky Kaushal has had a successful 2023 in terms of theatrical releases. The actor was first seen on the big screen this year in Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. This was followed by Sam Bahadur, which released earlier this month. Directed by Meghna Gulzar, the film saw him play Sam Manekshaw, India’s first Field Marshal and Chief of Army Staff. Vicky is all set to play another real personality in the upcoming film Chhava, which is based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. For the unversed, he was the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
Directed by Rahul Janardan Jadhav, Chhava reportedly went on floors in October this year and is expected to release later in 2024. Interestingly, much before that film releases, a Marathi movie on the same historical personality will be released next year on 16 February. Filmmaker Digpal Lanjekar’s Shivrayancha Chhava is that movie and its first poster and release date was announced recently.
The makers of the Marathi movie haven’t revealed the name of the actor who would be playing the central character in the film. The poster shows the back of a strong bodied person who is all set to confront a tiger in a jungle.
Digpal Lanjekar is known for making a number of films on stories revolving around Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. These include, Farzand, Fatteshikast, Pawankhind, Sher Shivraj and Subhedar. In all his films so far, Chinmay Mandlekar and Mrinal Kulkarni have been seen in the roles of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Rajmata Jijabai respectively. He has announced eight films on Maratha history. Shivrayancha Chhava, however, isn't a part of that lot and is an independent film on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
Vicky Kaushal’s Chhava will see Rashmika Mandanna cast opposite him.
Only time will tell whether Shivrayancha Chhava will have any bearing on Chhava.
