Chhava in turmoil: Maddock Films to hold special screening amid controversy

New Delhi: Vicky Kaushal’s upcoming film Chhava will hit the theatres on February 14. However, just two weeks before its grand premiere, the film has landed in hot waters. Based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Raje, Chhava is directed by Laxman Utekar and backed by Maddock Films.

For the unversed, Maharashtra Minister Uday Samant said that the upcoming period drama should be shown to ‘historians and scholars’ and if they raise objections then ‘we will not let it be released.’ Now, in a new update, the film’s makers will organise a special show regarding the issue. The show is scheduled for January 29, 2025.
