Cast and Characters
In 'Chhaava', Vicky portrayed the iconic role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, while Rashmika Mandanna played Maharani Yesubai. The film also featured Akshaye Khanna as the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The supporting cast included notable actors like Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta, and Diana Penty in pivotal roles. Etimes review for the film reads, "Director Laxman Utekar builds his historical on a massive canvas, giving the film the larger than life appeal it deserves. The film starts off with promise and a grand slowmo entry but the first half lacks an engaging story beyond the obvious reverence. It feels like a collage of action sequences and songs without investing much in character development or world building. You miss that tension or sense of discovery around the events that unfold. AR Rahman’s songs and background score drive the narrative, overriding the story and dialogues."
