Bhopal, Feb 19 (NationPress) The newly premiered Hindi film ‘Chhaava’, which narrates the saga of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, will be exempt from taxes in Madhya Pradesh, as announced by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday. This declaration was made during an event commemorating the birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Bhopal, highlighting that films illustrating the tales of great heroes should enjoy tax exemptions.

“Sambhaji Maharaj devoted his life to safeguard Hindu dharma and his homeland, hence, on this significant occasion of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's birth anniversary, I declare the film Chhaava tax-free in Madhya Pradesh,” Yadav stated. The film stars Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, and centers around the life of the valiant Sambhaji Maharaj, a formidable warrior of the Maratha Empire, who fought courageously against Aurangzeb's Mughal domination.

‘Chhaava’ portrays the valor and legacy of the iconic Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, resonating profoundly with audiences. Numerous videos circulating on social media depict viewers emotional and paying homage to the Maratha king in cinema halls. The film illustrates the rich heritage and sacrifices of the warrior king, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal, whose performance has garnered acclaim from both critics and audiences. The narrative revolves around Sambhaji Maharaj, the offspring of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, commencing with the news of his father’s demise.

The Mughals mistakenly believe this signifies the downfall of the Marathas, unaware that Chhaav is poised to confront their authority. Thus commences a monumental conflict between Sambhaji and Aurangzeb.
