Pushparaj's Request To Shambhaji Maharaj

The much-awaited historical drama Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, will now release on February 14. Initially scheduled for December 6, 2024, the film was postponed at Allu Arjun’s request to avoid clashing with Pushpa 2.

At an event in Hyderabad, Allu Arjun revealed that he personally contacted Chhaava’s makers, who graciously agreed to move their release date, stating they were "fans of Pushpa." Arjun expressed gratitude towards the Indian film industry for supporting Pushpa 2.

Chhaava also features Rashmika Mandanna as Yesubai Bhonsale and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb. Vicky Kaushal underwent intense preparation for the role, gaining 25 kgs, learning horse riding, and piercing his ears. The actor shared glimpses of his transformation on Instagram, emphasizing his seven-month training journey.
