Riteish is putting his heart into this film. The trailer gave me goosebumps. And having Ajay-Atul for music and Santosh Sivan for cinematography means we're in for a visual treat. Can't wait for May 1!
I hope they've researched well and not just made a typical Bollywood masala film. Shivaji Maharaj deserves respect. But seeing Riteish and Genelia's emotional attachment gives me confidence. All the best!
This movie is going to be epic. Historical dramas with such a strong cast and crew are rare these days. Riteish as director and lead? Bold move. Let's see how it turns out.
The emotional breakdown at trailer launch shows how much this film means to Riteish and Genelia. It's not just a film, it's a tribute to a legend. May 1 can't come soon enough. Jai Shivaji! 🚩
