The first look of actress Rashmika Mandanna from the Hindi-language historical action film ‘Chhaava’ was revealed on Tuesday (January 21st, 2025). Chhaava features Vicky Kaushal in the titular role, playing Maratha king and warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
Sharing the poster on Instagram, the film’s production banner (Maddock Films) wrote, “Behind every great king, there stands a queen of unmatched strength. Introducing @iamRashmika as Maharani Yesubai – the pride of Swarajya. #ChhaavaTrailer Out Tomorrow! Releasing in cinemas on 14th February 2025.”
This is the first time Rashmika and Vicky have been paired together on the screen. Chhaava narrates the valour of Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and shows him carrying the strength of four great natural elements that make the world – earth, fire, water and air.
Chhaava is based on a Marathi book of the same title, written by Shivaji Sawant. It is directed by Laxman Utekar, and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. AR Rahman has composed the music for the film.
It is slated to hit the screens on February 14.
