Vicky was aware of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s story before Laxman Utekar narrated it to him
Chhaava, directed by Laxman Utekar who worked with Vicky Kaushal on the comedy film Zara Hatke, Zara Bachke, is the actor’s third biographical film after Sardar Udham and Sam Bahadur. Vicky said as someone growing up in Mumbai, he was aware of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s story.
“It was there in the history books but you don’t actually understand the emotional gravitas of it. I got to know the story in more detail from Laxman sir, I felt ‘Wow, this is an important story to tell’,” the actor shared.
