Leaked pictures from the sets of the upcoming historical drama ‘Chhava’ have revealed Vicky Kaushal’s transformation into Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The images showcase Vicky in the regal attire of the Maratha ruler, complete with a long beard, Shiva-like bun, and traditional accessories. Sporting a determined expression, Vicky is seen walking in a rustic setting.
‘Chhava’, directed by Laxman Utekar, marks the first collaboration between Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna. The film is based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Rashmika plays the role of Yesubai Bhonsale, Sambhaji’s wife.
