About Chhaava
Chhaava, directed by Laxman Utekar, features Vicky Kaushal in the iconic role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, with Rashmika Mandanna portraying the strong and compassionate Maharani Yesubai. Recently, the makers released the highly anticipated song “Aaya Re Toofan,” the second track from the historical epic.
Composed and sung by the Academy Award-winning A.R. Rahman, the energetic anthem was unveiled in Sambhajinagar by Vicky Kaushal and Laxman Utekar, with a large crowd of fans and media present to celebrate the moment.
Reflecting on the significance of the song, Vicky shared, “‘Aaya Re Toofan’ is a primal force of nature. Every single person on the set poured their heart, blood, and sweat into honoring the sacred legacy of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. This wasn’t just a song for us; it was a responsibility, a calling.”
He further added, “I’m honoured that the legendary A.R. Rahman sir has powered this anthem with his mesmerising composition and mighty voice, invoking an era of unmatched bravery. Launching it in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, a land that carries the weight of his name and his sacrifice, feels like destiny bringing everything full circle.”
Starring alongside Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna also plays a pivotal role in this historical drama, which is set to hit theaters on February 14.
