Vicky Kaushal’s powerful portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj—a warrior, a poet, and a king torn between duty and destiny—is ready to step off the silver screen and feature into your living room. After a triumphant run at the box office, ‘Chhaava’, the historical saga that captivated the nation, is all set to premiere on Netflix on April 11.
From Theatres to OTT: A New Chapter
A film that has already inked its name in box office history with ₹599 crore in domestic collections and over ₹800 crore globally, Chhaava is more than just a blockbuster. It is storytelling with a pulse, ambition with scale, and emotion with dignity.
Announcing the OTT release, Netflix shared:
“Aale Raje Aale,” a royal invitation to witness courage carved in history.
For those who missed the spectacle on the big screen—or for those who wish to relive its grandeur—this is your second chance to be swept up in a story brimming with valour, sacrifice, and unyielding spirit.
Vicky Kaushal: A Maharaj for the Ages
Vicky Kaushal disappears into the role of Sambhaji Maharaj—his eyes holding both fire and restraint. This is a performance that’s not just worn like a costume, but inhabited from the inside out. Speaking about his journey, Kaushal said:
“Portraying Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was not just an honour—it was a personal, almost spiritual experience. His legacy needs to be heard, and I’m proud that Netflix will help this story reach audiences across the world.”
Joining Kaushal is a stellar cast: Rashmika Mandanna as the formidable Maharani Yesubai, Akshaye Khanna in a chilling turn as Aurangzeb, and Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta, and Diana Penty rounding out the ensemble with gravitas.
A Historical Drama with a Beating Heart
What makes Chhaava more than a historical retelling is the soul behind its spectacle. A.R. Rahman’s score lifts moments into the sublime, while Irshad Kamil’s lyrics add poetic gravitas to every beat. Director Laxman Utekar masterfully blends intimacy with scale, giving the film a resonance that lingers long after the final frame.
Producer Dinesh Vijan sums it up best:
“This film is not just about history—it’s about legacy, resilience, and emotional truth. We poured our hearts into Chhaava, and sharing it with a global audience is a dream come true.”
A Must-Watch This April
Whether you’re a history buff, a lover of grand cinematic narratives, or someone seeking a story that’s both epic and deeply personal—Chhaava promises to deliver. Mark your calendars for April 11, when this rousing tale begins its new innings on Netflix.
