Vicky Kaushal’s touching side note read, “Hamari sabse badi kamai. (Our greatest earning). Proud of you beta (son)…I wish I could give you a hug. Thank you everyone for your love and emotions. We wished for Shambhu Raaje’s story to reach every household in the world…and to see that happening is our greatest victory.”
Chhaava is adapted from a Marathi novel of the same name by Shivaji Sawant. The film features Vicky Kaushal as the valiant Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
