On the occasion of Maharashtra Day, an exciting announcement was made in the Marathi film industry. Director Santosh Dawkhare revealed his upcoming historical film titled Shahajiraje. The announcement was made by releasing a powerful first poster, which has already created a lot of buzz among audiences.
The poster presents a strong and royal image of Shahaji Bhosale. His serious expression and commanding presence reflect the strength and leadership he was known for. The visual also shows wind flowing behind him, giving a feeling of intensity and hinting at the struggles and battles of that era. The overall look of the poster suggests that the film will be grand, dramatic, and deeply rooted in history.
This film is special because it will be the first Marathi movie to focus entirely on the life story of Shahaji Bhosale, who was the father of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Through this film, the makers aim to bring his achievements and personality to a wider audience in a powerful and engaging way.
Santosh Dawkhare is known for creating films that are connected to culture and history. After the success of his previous film Gondhal, which gained attention even at a global level, he is now returning with another meaningful subject. With Shahajiraje, he hopes to tell an inspiring story that will connect with viewers of all ages.
The film is planned for release in 2027 and will be made on a large scale. It will be released not just in Marathi but also in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam, making it accessible to audiences across India. There is also growing curiosity about who will play the role of Shahaji Bhosale.
