Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava is garnering praise from fans and critics for its grand portrayal of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the valiant son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Known for his bravery and strategic warfare against the Mughals, Sambhaji’s life has been a source of inspiration for generations. The film, directed by Laxman Utekar, delves into his struggles, victories, and the betrayal that led to his tragic end.

While Chhaava has been performing exceptionally well at the box office, it has also sparked controversy. Descendants of Ganoji and Kanhoji Shirke have reportedly raised objections over their portrayal in the film. The controversy stems from the sequence in which these Maratha warriors are depicted as betraying Sambhaji by siding with Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The Shirke family has condemned this depiction, claiming it distorts history and maligns their ancestors.
