The upcoming historical drama Chhava, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, has been making waves ever since its announcement, and the recent release of its teaser has only heightened the excitement. The film, which is set to hit theaters on December 6, offers a gripping first look at Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of the legendary Maratha leader Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The teaser, which was shown before Stree 2, has quickly become the talk of the town, with fans buzzing about the intense war scenes and Vicky’s powerful portrayal of Sambhaji Maharaj. The clip showcases Vicky in a commanding role, exuding both bravery and regality as he battles on the front lines. His look and the intensity of his performance have left a strong impression, drawing comparisons to other iconic portrayals of Maratha warriors, like Ranveer Singh’s Bajirao in Bajirao Mastani. However, Vicky seems to be carving out his own space with this role, bringing a unique presence to the screen.
Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava teaser to release on this date
Ahead of the teaser release, Vicky Kaushal shared the first poster of Chhava on social media, further fueling anticipation. The poster depicts him in the midst of battle, surrounded by soldiers, looking intense and determined a visual that has already resonated with fans.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, who has previously helmed films like Mimi and Luka Chuppi, Chhava marks another collaboration between Utekar and Vicky Kaushal following their recent success with the comedy-romance Zara Hatke Zara Bachke earlier this year. This time, however, Utekar takes on the grand canvas of a historical drama, delving into the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the eldest son of Shivaji Maharaj and a pivotal figure in Maratha history.
Rashmika Mandanna stars opposite Vicky as Yesubai Bhonsale, Sambhaji Maharaj’s wife, adding another layer of depth to the narrative. The film also boasts a strong supporting cast, including Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta, and Neil Bhoopalam, who reportedly plays a Mughal prince. The ensemble cast, coupled with the film’s historical significance and high production values, has already set Chhava up as one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
With the release date set for December 6, fans of both history and cinema are eagerly waiting to see how this epic tale of bravery and resistance unfolds on the big screen.
