It will be interesting to see which slot makers choose to release Chhaava as both are lucrative festive slots for the box office. ## Chhava is a historical epic film based on the life of Maratha king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, played by Vicky Kaushal. It is an adaptation of the Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant. The film has Rashmika Mandanna, playing the female lead as Yesubai Bhonsale and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb.## Stay tuned...
