All you need to know about Chhava

The Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandana-starrer film Chhava is all set to roll the cameras and start its principal photography this month. The film is a period drama and will see Vicky essaying the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the eldest son of the Maratha empire’s founder and the great warrior king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. While the film will be primarily focused on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s sacrifice, and his strategies for warfare, it will also explore a love angle between Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and his wife, Yesubai Bhonsale (essayed by Rashmika).

A source told IANS, “The film after witnessing a delay, is all set to start its production in the month of October. Rashmika was always the first choice for the part and was locked after her look test." Chhava will mark the second collaboration between Vicky and director Laxman Utekar after their super-successful Zara Hatke Zara Bachke. The film is being produced under the banner of Maddock Films and will be their first historical project.
