Chhaava is a period drama based on the legendary story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, with Vicky Kaushal portraying the iconic Maratha ruler. Vicky described playing Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj as his “toughest role” yet, highlighting the immense physical and mental preparation required to portray such a historical figure.
“Playing such a historical figure requires a lot of discipline, and discipline is tough. If you are not used to discipline, where I was, it becomes very challenging because it’s not just a one-month commitment; it’s a commitment for one and a half to two years,” Vicky said.
“I’m just happy that I get to say that this is the toughest role I’ve played till date. I hope I can continue to grow, not just as an actor but as a human being, with every role I take on,” Vicky shared.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film also stars Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna.
