Maha CM Devendra Fadnavis praises Chhaava

Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna's Chhaava directed by Lakshman Utekar is going great guns at the box office. The film which is about Chhatrapathi Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj is casting a magic spell on movie lovers. The film's Telugu version is releasing on 7 March 2025.

In the meantime, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis praised Chhava. He said "A very beautiful movie has been made. Our colleague minister, Aditi Tatkare, has organized this screening today for all MLAs and MLCs." He added  "Those who wrote history did a lot of injustice to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, but through this movie, his valour, bravery, cleverness, intelligence, knowledge, all these aspects of his life are coming in front of the public. And the way Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj continuously protected Swarajya after Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, his sacrifice is coming in front of the people through this. I would like to congratulate the producers of this film and the entire team."

Minister Aditi Tatkare who organised the special screening of Chhaava said  "Chhaava movie was released a few days ago and we felt that all our MLAs and council members should definitely watch this movie. So we organized a special screening of this during the session and the star cast and their production, distributors also supported it a lot," She continued  "I am thankful to our state's CM Devendra Fadnavis and Deputy CMs Ajit Pawar, Eknath Shinde, and all our colleagues from the cabinet and MLAs who have come here today. So, I am very happy that the struggle of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and his sacrifice for Swarajya has been shown in this film..."

Earlier PM Modi showered praises on the film. He said "Ye Maharashtra aur Mumbai hi hai jisne Marathi filmon ke saath-saath, Hindi cinema ko ye unchai di hai. Aur in dino toh, Chhaava ki dhoom machi hui hai." (Maharashtra and Mumbai have elevated Hindi cinema along with Marathi films, and Chhaava is making waves these days.)
