Chhaava, featuring Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, and Akshaye Khanna, is helmed by director Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan. This historical film, which chronicles the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has been generating considerable excitement among audiences, with its release scheduled for Valentine's Day 2025.

Ajay Devgn instantly agreed to the voiceover

Ajay Devgn has promptly agreed to provide the voiceover for the film. According to reports from Pinkvilla, sources indicate that Vijan and Utekar have enlisted Ajay Devgn to lend his voice to Chhaava. In the realm of Indian cinema, Devgn is one of the few actors whose vocal performance can profoundly resonate with viewers. His ability to convey emotion, especially in dramatic contexts, significantly amplifies the impact of pivotal scenes. A source familiar with the situation revealed that Devgn readily accepted the offer to contribute his voice to Chhaava upon being approached by Vijan and Utekar.

Furthermore, the insider mentioned that Devgn completed his dubbing for Chhaava just last week. He expressed enthusiasm for participating in a project that pays tribute to the unsung hero Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, having previously starred in a film that depicted the life of the renowned Maratha warrior Tanhaji Malusare. The addition of his voiceover has enriched the narrative of Chhaava, with the source confirming that he has already recorded his segments.

Record-breaking pre-sales for Chhaava

Chhaava is poised to achieve record-breaking pre-sales. Anticipated to be the first major blockbuster of the year upon its release on Valentine's Day 2025, the film has commenced advance bookings, and preparations for the significant release are underway.

Recent reports suggest that Chhaava is on track to secure the highest opening weekend revenue for a Bollywood film this year. As of Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock, the film had amassed Rs. 4.21 crore (approximately 1.48 lakh tickets), according to the trade website Sacnilk. Including block seat sales, the pre-sales revenue has reached Rs. 5.53 crore.

Maharashtra, where the populace is well-acquainted with the history of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, is expected to contribute significantly to these sales.

Strong box office predictions for opening day

On its first day of release, Chhaava is anticipated to generate a net revenue ranging from Rs. 18 crore to Rs. 20 crore. However, there are concerns that the film's producers may be engaging in practices to artificially inflate ticket sales to meet these optimistic projections.
