Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji! 🚩 It's heartening to see a major production on our great king. The ensemble is fantastic. Genelia as Saibai will surely add the emotional core. My family is already planning a theatre visit.

Looks promising, but I hope they focus on the historical accuracy and the administrative genius of Shivaji Maharaj, not just the battles. The 'swarajya' concept was revolutionary. Fingers crossed the script does it justice.

Releasing in Marathi, Hindi, and Telugu is a smart move. This story deserves a pan-India audience. The production values look top-notch. Abhishek Bachchan as Sambhaji is an interesting choice. Eagerly waiting!

The trailer has a great scale. As an outsider, I'm keen to learn more about this king and his fight for self-rule ('swarajya'). Films like this are a great way to understand India's rich past.
