The makers of Chhaava have recently released a new character poster featuring Akshaye Khanna as the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. In the poster, Khanna is almost unrecognizable, portraying the ruthless ruler with intense expressions and a menacing aura. His flowing hair and the Mughal crown add to the dramatic look, emphasizing his role as a fearsome emperor. The poster’s caption describes him as “The new face of fear and terror,” highlighting the powerful impact his character is expected to have in the film.
The earlier reveal of the poster was of Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai, wife to Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Her characterization is of a powerful and respected queen who played a vital part in the history of the Maratha empire. A caption accompanying her poster called her “the pride of Swarajya,” reflecting her extraordinary power and strength towards her husband.
Chhaava is a period drama that revolves around the legendary story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, played by Vicky Kaushal. The film will show the journey of the fearless Maratha ruler from his coronation in 1681. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Maddock Films, Chhaava is scheduled to release on February 14, 2025, as it was postponed from its original October 2024 release date to avoid competition with Pushpa 2: The Rule. The film promises to showcase a gripping historical narrative with a stellar cast and a gripping storyline.
