Mumbai, March 11 (NationPress) On the anniversary of Chhatrapati Sambhaji's death, Vicky Kaushal paid tribute to the legendary warrior, stating that some roles remain etched in memory, and portraying Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in “Chhaava” has been one of those pivotal experiences for him.
Shambhu Raje Balidan Divas commemorates Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the offspring of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, who met a tragic end at the hands of the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb on March 11, 1689, for his staunch refusal to convert to Islam.
Vicky shared a striking still from his recent hit “Chhaava” on Instagram. The powerful image showcases the actor with arms raised and bound by chains, his back to the camera, embodying the essence of struggle and defiance. A golden beam of light casts down upon him, creating a dramatic and almost divine ambiance.
Warriors clad in historical garb are visible in the backdrop, set against a large tent, evoking a sense of a historical or wartime scenario.
In his caption, Vicky remarked: 11th March 1689- Shambhu Raje Sacrifice Day On this Punyatithi of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, I pay homage to the warrior who embraced death instead of surrender, who stood resilient against unbearable torture and who lived and perished for his principles.
“Some roles resonate with you eternally, and embodying Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in #Chhaava has truly been one of those. His narrative transcends mere history—it represents valor, sacrifice, and an indomitable spirit that continues to inspire countless individuals. Zinda Rahey! Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji! Jai Sambhaji.
“Chhaava”, helmed by Laxman Utekar, is a historical drama revolving around the life of Sambhaji Maharaj, the second sovereign of the Maratha Empire. It is based on the Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant. The film features Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna.
