Apart from starring in the film, Riteish Deshmukh has also directed and written ‘Raja Shivaji’, making it one of the most ambitious projects of his career. As discussions around the film’s reported Rs 100 crore budget gained attention online, the actor-filmmaker chose to address the speculation calmly.
Speaking about the budget reports, Riteish stated that only the producers are aware of the actual figures. He also mentioned that conversations around budgets do not really impact filmmaking or audience reception.
Despite the ongoing chatter, the film’s strong box office trend suggests that ‘Raja Shivaji’ is steadily moving towards becoming one of the most successful historical dramas of the year.
