Speaking about the film, Riteish Deshmukh, director and lead actor, shared, "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is not just a historical figure - he is an emotion that lives in the hearts of millions. To be able to tell a part of his extraordinary story is both an honour and a great responsibility. I'm deeply grateful to Jyoti Deshpande and Jio Studios for placing their faith in this vision. Releasing the film on Maharashtra Day feels especially meaningful, and with a cast we could only dream of, we feel truly fortunate. We hope audiences across languages connect with the spirit of Raja Shivaji as deeply as we have."
The film, which is currently in production, will feature music composed by Ajay-Atul and cinematography by Santosh Sivan.
