Chhaava features actor Vicky Kaushal playing the role of Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, while Rashmika Mandanna plays the role of his wife, queen Yesubai.
Actor Rashmika Mandanna’s first look from Chhaava was released on Tuesday. She plays the role of Queen Yesubai, Chattrapati Sambhaji’s wife in the film. Chhaava features Vicky Kaushal in the titular role, playing the Maratha King and warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
Earlier, the makers also released multiple posters of Vicky’s look from the film, promising a historical-action experience like never before. The film trailer will be released on Wednesday. The makers announced the same on social media while sharing the posters featuring Rashmika. A post made by Maddock Films on Instagram read, “Behind every great king, there stands a queen of unmatched strength. Introducing @rashmika_mandanna as Maharani Yesubai, the pride of Swarajya. #ChhaavaTrailer Out Tomorrow! Released in cinemas on 14th February 2025. #Chhaava #ChhaavaOnFeb14 (sic).”
This is the first time Rashmika and Vicky have been paired together on the screen. Chhaava narrates the valour of Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and shows him carrying the strength of the four outstanding natural elements that make the world: earth, fire, water, and air.
This is also the first time Vicky will be seen doing an out-and-out action historical film. Chhaava is based on a Marathi book of the same title, written by Shivaji Sawant. It is directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. AR Rahman has composed the music for the film. It is slated to hit the screens on February 14.
