Vicky Kaushal‘s Chhaava is becoming one of the most anticipated historical dramas of the year. The film features Akshaye Khanna as the ruthless Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. It stars Vicky as the brave Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Rashmika Mandanna as his wife, Maharani Yesubai.
Akshaye Khanna’s Intense Posters As Aurangzeb Unveiled
The makers unveiled two striking posters on Tuesday to showcase Akshaye Khanna’s intense portrayal of Aurangzeb. In the first poster, his piercing gaze and flowing white hair make him almost unrecognisable, embodying the emperor’s fearsome presence. The second poster features him wearing a crown, adding to his intimidating yet majestic aura.
Sharing the posters, the makers wrote, “Darr aur dehshat ka naya chehra (A new face of fear and panic) – Presenting Akshaye Khanna as Mughal Shahenshah Aurangzeb, the ruthless ruler of the Mughal Empire!”
The release of these posters has added fuel to the already intense excitement surrounding the film.
Rashmika Mandanna’s Look From Chhaava Was Also Revealed Recently
Apart from Akshaye’s powerful character, Rashmika’s posters as Maharani Yesubai have also caught attention.
Known for her roles in Pushpa: The Rise, Animal, and Pushpa 2, Rashmika’s casting has sparked mixed reactions from the public. Some fans are thrilled to see her in the role, while others have expressed doubts.
One netizen wrote, “Everything else is fine. Looks like a perfect movie to watch but why this heroine? There are sooo many who could do this better. Seeing the heroine, I’m out of watching this in theatre.”
Others questioned why Marathi actresses weren’t considered for the role. A user asked, “Why a south actress for a Marathi role?”
Despite the mixed reactions, the film has generated plenty of buzz on social media, with many eager to see how Rashmika brings Maharani Yesubai to life.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava features a music score by AR Rahman. The film, produced by Maddock Films, is scheduled for release on February 14, 2025. Ahead of its release, the trailer is set to drop on January 22, promising an action-packed cinematic experience.
