Akshaye Khanna has undergone a remarkable transformation into Aurangzeb for his forthcoming project, Chhaava. Recently released posters showcasing him in this historical role reveal a striking portrayal that can only be described as powerful. In these images, Akshaye appears almost unrecognizable, featuring a slender visage adorned with salt-and-pepper hair. His side profile bears a significant resemblance to that of the Mughal emperor. Here, take a look...

Akshaye Khanna is Mughal Shahenshah Aurangzeb for Chhaava

Maddock Films has unveiled two posters featuring Akshaye Khanna portraying Aurangzeb in the film Chhaava. The first poster presents a side profile, prominently showcasing Aurangzeb's elevated crown. In contrast, the second poster highlights Akshaye Khanna as the actor, suggesting a compelling performance. Given his career trajectory, this role has the potential to become another significant addition to his repertoire, though the final outcome is yet to be determined.

How Aurangzeb played the most important part in ploy towards Chhatrapati Sambhaji's death

Chhatrapati Sambhaji remained oblivious to the presence of infiltrators within his ranks, who were consistently informing Aurangzeb of his movements. Consequently, despite his numerous efforts to evade capture, Sambhaji ultimately fell into Aurangzeb's hands.

Aurangzeb presented Sambhaji with three stipulations for the preservation of his life: 1. The surrender of all his forts, 2. The revelation of all concealed treasures, and 3. The identification of Mughal officers collaborating with the Marathas. Additionally, Aurangzeb proposed that Sambhaji convert to Islam; however, Sambhaji responded with disdain towards both the emperor and the Prophet Mohammad. Furthermore, he audaciously demanded that Aurangzeb offer his daughter as a condition for his conversion.

As a result, Sambhaji, along with his minister Kavi Kalash, endured severe torture before being executed by beheading near the Bhima River.
