Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis has now applauded Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava for staying true to history, saying that the film doesn’t distort facts. The film is receiving rave reviews from fans and celebs alike and the box office collections are through the roof. Recently, the Mumbai Dabbawala Association had appealed to the Maha CM to declare the film tax-free in the state. Moreover, the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) also wrote a letter to Fadnavis requesting him to declare Chhaava, tax-free in the state.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava is a period drama based on the life of the legendary Maratha ruler, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Vicky steps into the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the eldest son of the Maratha empire’s founder. Meanwhile, Rashmika Mandanna portrays his wife, Yesubai Bhonsale. The film also stars Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, and Divya Dutta in key roles.
According to trade tracker Sacnilk, Chhaava earned Rs 24.50 crore on its fifth day, bringing its total collection to Rs 165 crore. While the film has maintained a double-digit hold, its earnings have declined compared to previous days.
