After capturing the hearts of millions in theatres, Chhaava, the powerful historical drama starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, is ready to bring its inspiring story to living rooms across the world as it premieres on Netflix on April 11. This film is not just a cinematic achievement—it’s a deeply moving tribute to the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, a warrior and visionary who lived and died for his people. Speaking about the journey, Vicky Kaushal shared, “Playing Sambhaji Maharaj was more than just a role—it was a profound honour and one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. With Netflix, his extraordinary story will now reach not just every corner of India, but audiences across the globe.” Producer Dinesh Vijan called the film a labour of love, highlighting the emotional intensity and dedication poured into every frame. Chhaava has already touched countless lives, becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, earning nearly ₹600 crore in India and over ₹790 crore globally. It also became the most successful film ever released on Valentine’s Day, resonating with audiences far beyond traditional boundaries. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Akshaye Khanna, Divya Dutta, Ashutosh Rana, Neil Bhoopalam, and Diana Penty. Khanna’s portrayal of Aurangzeb stood out as a powerful performance, earning widespread praise. Adding emotional depth to the narrative is a soul-stirring soundtrack by maestro A.R. Rahman. His music seamlessly blends with the highs and lows of the story, enriching the audience’s emotional connection to the characters and their journey. Chhaava is more than a film—it is a reminder of resilience, legacy, and the power of storytelling to inspire generations.
