2 months ago | 5 Views
Vicky Kaushal's film Chhaava has encountered controversy due to a dance sequence featured in its recently released trailer. The movie, which centers on Sambhaji, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is currently facing scrutiny as some prominent individuals question its historical accuracy. This situation raises inquiries about the origins of the controversy and its current status.
The Chhaava dance controversy - what started it?
The trailer includes a dance segment in which Vicky Kaushal performs a Bollywood-style dance alongside the female lead, Rashmika Mandanna. Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati, a former Rajya Sabha MP and a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, has expressed concerns, suggesting that the film should be reviewed by historians to verify its historical fidelity.
Concerns raised by Shivaji Maharaj's descendant regarding Chhaava
The MP previewed the film's trailer and urged director Laxman Utekar to screen the film for historians. He stated, "I also offered to connect them with historians to address inaccuracies to ensure the story is presented authentically to audiences worldwide." He specifically mentioned the use of the traditional musical instrument lezim in the dance sequence and expressed a desire to discuss its portrayal in the film.
Previously, protests occurred in Pune regarding the same dance sequence. Demonstrators warned that they would prevent Chhaava from being released in Maharashtra unless the filmmakers engaged historians to thoroughly examine the film for any inaccuracies.
What are the makers doing about the objections?
The filmmakers have yet to respond to the protests surrounding Chhaava. Director Laxman Utekar is anticipated to provide his perspective on whether the film was developed with the input of historians.
Will this situation escalate into a significant conflict? Is Chhaava's release in Maharashtra still on track? Stay tuned for updates.
Featuring Akshaye Khanna as Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Chhaava is set to be released in theaters on February 14. The details regarding its OTT release and platform remain unconfirmed at this time.
