Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Maddock Films, 'Chhaava' also features Akshaye Khanna. The movie is described as a "stirring tale of the courageous warrior whose coronation on this day in 1681 marked the beginning of a legendary reign." The trailer is set to be released on Wednesday.

Recently, Vicky was honoured at CNN-News18's Indian Of The Year Awards, where he received the Youth Icon Of 2024 accolade. In his acceptance speech, the actor shared his initial thoughts about the project.

"The first feeling is just, 'Will I be able to do justice to such an incredible legacy?' But that's what excites me the most as well. Also, every opportunity like this, when you get a great man like Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, it is also a beautiful opportunity to understand their culture, their history, their values, their beliefs, and their love for the country," he said.
