Riteish Deshmukh as Shivaji Maharaj? That's a bold choice. I hope he has done his research well. The trailer looked promising though, and the music is pure fire. Will definitely watch on May 1.
No offense to Riteish, but why do we keep casting actors from non-Marathi backgrounds for Marathi historical figures? We have so many talented Marathi actors who could have done this role. Still, the song sounds awesome, and Ajay-Atul never disappoint.
I cried seeing the trailer and now this song. Riteish and Genelia's love story is beautiful. The film seems to have so much heart. Can't wait to take my family for this one! ❤️
My grandfather used to tell me stories about Shivaji Maharaj when I was a child. This film will help the younger generation connect with our glorious history. The music beats are addictive, just like the press note says. Jai Bhavani! Jai Shivaji!
Great to see big names like Sanjay Dutt and Abhishek Bachchan in a historical Maratha film. The visuals from Santosh Sivan will be mind-blowing I'm sure. But price of tickets these days is too high, hope they keep it reasonable for common people.
