Raja Shivaji revolves around the story of Shivaji Maharaj's early journey, focusing on his oath to build Swarajya and his stand against the powerful rulers of that time. The film looks at him not only as a king but also as a son and a leader who chose courage over fear.

The project brings together well-known names from the film industry. The music is composed by Ajay-Atul, while the visuals are handled by cinematographer Santosh Sivan.

The film is presented by Jio Studios and produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Genelia Deshmukh under the banner of Mumbai Film Company.

Raja Shivaji is scheduled to release in cinemas worldwide on May 1, 2026. (ANI)
