VICKY KAUSHAL RADIATES WARRIOR-LIKE AURA AS HE TRANSFORMS INTO CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJI MAHARAJ IN LEAKED PICS FROM CHHAAVA’S SETS

After receiving acclaim for his performances in Meghna Gulzar's biographical war drama Sam Bahadur and Rajkumar Hirani's comedy-drama Dunki, actor Vicky Kaushal is now busy working on Anand Tiwari's Bad Newz and Laxman Utekar's Chhaava.

A couple of pictures, purportedly leaked from the film's sets, show Kaushal in full costume as Chhaava. A historical drama based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, Chhaava features Kaushal in the lead role. The images depict him wearing saffron attire adorned with a rudraksha necklace, his hair tied in a semi-bun, and a thick beard and moustache on his face. Three stripes of tilak are smeared on his forehead, presenting a formidable warrior appearance.

Back in January, Mandanna announced that she had completed filming her parts for the movie, while also praising director Utekar.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Mandanna noted, “Laxman Utekar sir… I just wonder how can a man handle such a big set with at least 1,500 working people with such calm and poise… Sir, you have seen me as Yesubai when no one in the world could’ve even thought about this, and I truly wonder how… and not just me… the whole country will wonder how… but watching those visuals make me tear up… you’ve gotten a performance out of me that I am excited for the world to watch. My mother was on set one day, and for the first time, she had teared up looking at me play a character… and that is the most special to me… Thank you! From the bottom of my heart.”
