The teaser showcases Vicky Kaushal in a commanding and intense role as the Maratha emperor.
His portrayal promises to be both regal and compelling, aiming to distinguish itself from similar roles, such as Ranveer Singh in Bajirao Mastani. In Chhava, Vicky Kaushal takes on the complex role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, while Rashmika Mandanna plays his wife, Yesubai Bhonsale. Scheduled for release on December 6, the film has generated significant anticipation following its completion earlier this year. Sharing the same, Vicky wrote, “Protector of Swarajya. Defender of Dharma.
#Chhaava – An epic saga of a courageous warrior! ⚔️ Teaser out now.” You can take a look at the teaser here…
However, the surprising element of the teaser is Akshaye Khanna, who plays Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in the movie. Directed by Laxman Utekar, known for Mimi (2021) and Luka Chuppi (2019), Chhava marks another collaboration between Utekar and Vicky Kaushal after their successful comedy-romance Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (2023).
Chhava is a historical drama centered on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the eldest son of the founder of the Maratha Empire. Vicky Kaushal will portray this prominent figure, while Rashmika Mandanna will play Yesubai Bhonsale. The film also features Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, and Divya Dutta in significant roles. According to Pinkvilla, Neil Bhoopalam will also appear as a Mughal prince in the film.
