Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava has already been a massive success at the box office since its release on February 14th.

The film, which also stars Akshaye Khanna, brings to life the compelling story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, and has performed particularly well in Maharashtra, where it has become a box office sensation. Rajasthan and West Bengal have also seen increased footfall mid-week.
With its phenomenal success and positive reception, Chhaava is poised to make a major impact when it releases in Telugu.
