The cast list is incredible! Vidya Balan, Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan... such powerful actors to tell this story. I hope they do justice to the complexity of Shivaji Maharaj's character and his vision for Swarajya, and not just make it an action spectacle.

Releasing in Marathi, Hindi, and Telugu is a smart move. This is a story that needs to reach all Indians. Our history is filled with such inspiring figures. Waiting eagerly for May 2026!

As someone who loves historical epics, this looks promising. The technical team is top-notch. I just hope the narrative is well-researched and doesn't take too many cinematic liberties with such an important historical figure.

With due respect to the makers and the amazing cast, I have one concern. We've seen many films on Shivaji Maharaj. I hope this one brings a fresh perspective or deeper insight into his administrative genius, not just the battles. The teaser seems very action-heavy.

Genelia producing this is so cool! And the fact that it's a husband-wife team (Riteish directing, Genelia producing) makes it special. Can't wait to see Bhagyashree back on screen too! The teaser has created a good buzz.
