Vicky Kaushal’s historical epic Chhaava continues to create ripples across the nation. After a phenomenal run in Hindi-speaking regions, the makers are now set to release the film in Telugu, responding to strong demand from fans.
The period drama, directed by Laxman Utekar, portrays the inspiring story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and features a stellar cast including Akshaye Khanna, Rashmika Mandanna, Divya Dutta, and Vineet Kumar Singh.
Chhaava Telugu Release Announced
Production house Maddock took to Instagram on Wednesday to share the exciting update. They posted a striking poster of Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, with the caption:
“The epic tale of India’s courageous son, #Chhaava, is now all set to roar in Telugu by popular demand. Witness the biggest spectacle #Chhaava in Telugu from March 7th. #ChhaavaTelugu Grand Release by #GeethaArtsDistributions.”
The Telugu dub comes just two weeks after the film’s Hindi release, fulfilling the wishes of enthusiastic fans who had been vocal on social media.
Box Office Success
Since its release on February 14, Chhaava has dominated the box office, grossing over ₹500 crore worldwide. It now stands as the second-highest-grossing Hindi period epic, only behind Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. Domestically, the film has amassed ₹385 crore and is poised to cross the ₹400 crore mark by Thursday. With its strong momentum, Chhaava could well be on track to achieve a remarkable ₹700 crore globally.
Maharashtra has proven to be the strongest market for the film, given the region’s deep reverence for Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The film is also gaining traction in Rajasthan and West Bengal, with mid-week footfalls on the rise.
With its powerful storytelling and grand visuals, Chhaava is set to captivate Telugu audiences as well.
