Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal is all set to take audiences by storm with his intense portrayal of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in the upcoming film Chhaava. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, the movie promises to be an epic saga filled with valor, history, and emotion.

A Fierce New Look: Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj
The motion poster released on Monday gives viewers a glimpse into Vicky Kaushal’s stunning transformation for the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of the legendary Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The poster combines four different striking looks of the actor, each highlighting the warrior’s fierce and fearless character.
In the first look, Vicky is seen gripping two swords with a deep, intense gaze. In the second, he lets out a powerful roar as he prepares to strike, wielding his sword with vengeance. The third look shows him poised with a bow and arrow, while the fourth presents him holding a trident—each avatar symbolizing the warrior spirit and the raw power of the historical figure he is portraying.
The motion poster’s caption further builds the anticipation: “Agni bhi woh, Paani bhi woh, Toofan bhi woh, Sher Shiva ka, Chhaava hai woh (He is fire, he is water, he brews the storm, he is the lion of Shiva; He is Chhaava).” This evocative line captures the essence of Sambhaji Maharaj’s indomitable spirit, setting the tone for the film’s larger-than-life portrayal of the Maratha empire.
Excitement Builds Ahead of Trailer Release
With the trailer scheduled to be unveiled on January 22, the motion poster has ignited a surge of excitement among fans and industry insiders. Vicky Kaushal’s portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj is expected to be one of the highlights of his career, showcasing his dedication to embodying a historic figure with great depth.
The teaser, which was previously released, gave fans a sneak peek into Vicky’s look and hinted at the intense conflict in the film, particularly with the character of Akshaye Khanna, who plays the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Their clash promises to be one of the most dramatic elements of the film, adding layers of complexity to the historical narrative.
The music for Chhaava is being composed by the legendary A.R. Rahman, adding another dimension of anticipation to the film.
