Apart from Riteish Deshmukh portraying Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the film features an ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Genelia Deshmukh, Sanjay Dutt and Mahesh Manjrekar.
A surprise appearance by Salman Khan has also become one of the film’s major crowd-pulling moments in theatres. Interestingly, the project had a long production journey after being announced in 2016, facing multiple delays before finally reaching cinemas in 2026.
Riteish, who has directed and co-written the film, recently dismissed discussions around the movie’s reported ₹100 crore budget, saying audiences should focus on experiencing the film rather than debating production costs.
