About Chhaava

Chaava is based on Shivaji Sawant's Marathi novel of the same name. The film also stars Diana Penty, Divya Dutta, and Ashutosh Rana in key roles. PM Narendra Modi praised the film during his recent address at the 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan at Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi.

He said, “Ye Maharashtra aur Mumbai hi hai jisne Marathi filmo ke saath saath, Hindi cinema ko ye unchai di hai. Aur in dino toh, Chhaava ki dhoom machi hui hai. (Maharashtra and Mumbai have elevated Hindi cinema along with Marathi films. And these days, Chhaava is making waves).”

Touched by the Prime Minister's recognition, Vicky Kaushal took to Instagram to express his gratitude, resharing PM Modi's post with the caption, “Honoured beyond words! Grateful to Hon. PM Narendra Modi Ji. #Chhaava.”
