Vicky Kaushal shares the teaser of his upcoming historical film, ‘Chhaava’

Don’t miss this Raksha Bandhan surprise from the actor to his fans

We’ve fallen in love with Vicky Kaushal over the years, with his knack for playing different tender characters. However, the actor is ready to explore a new side of himself as an out-and-out action hero, as he plays Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in his next, Chhaava. The film’s teaser shows the actor taking on thousands of soldiers, embodying the courage of the great Maratha king, who took forward the legacy of his father, Shivaji Maharaj. He seems to have undergone a physical transformation for the project too. The teaser also gives viewers a glimpse of Akshaye Khanna, who looks unrecognisable as Aurangzeb, the last great Mughal ruler. The film will also star Rashmika Mandanna as Yesubai Bhonsale, with music by A. R. Rahman. The makers also revealed December 6 as its release date, and we can’t wait to experience the action!
