The film revolved around the story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji, and his courage in defending his faith and country. Besides Vicky Kaushal in the lead, the film also featured Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna in prominent characters. Others in the cast were Viineet Kumar Siingh, and Ashutosh Rana. The film was released in cinemas on February 14 last year and quickly gained momentum at the box office. The film went on to become the actor's most successful venture to date, surpassing his previous hits like 'Uri: The Surgical Strike', 'Raazi', 'Sam Bahadur', and 'Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.' Adding to its cultural impact, 'Chhaava' also received recognition from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who mentioned the film during the 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in New Delhi. Acknowledging Maharashtra's cinematic contributions, he remarked, "Aur in dino toh, Chhaava ki dhoom machi hui hai." He also credited Marathi author Shivaji Sawant's acclaimed novel Chhava for bringing Sambhaji Maharaj's legacy into the spotlight. Responding to the Prime Minister's remarks, Vicky Kaushal expressed his gratitude on Instagram, stating, "Honoured beyond words! Grateful to Hon. PM Narendra Modi Ji. #Chhaava." On the work front, Vicky Kaushal is set for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film 'Love and War', alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt. (ANI)
