In a notable event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extolled the historical drama 'Chhaava,' starring Vicky Kaushal, for its vivid depiction of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's valor. The acknowledgment came during PM Modi's address at the 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in New Delhi.

Highlighting Maharashtra's pivotal role in enhancing Marathi and Hindi cinema, PM Modi particularly underscored 'Chhaava's growing acclaim nationwide.

Under Laxman Utekar's direction, the film has performed exceptionally well, crossing the Rs 200 crore milestone since its release.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh noted that 'Chhaava' surged past the Rs 200 crore mark, driven by strong viewership during the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti.
