The makers and cast of the much-awaited historical drama Chhaava recently gathered for a Star Gold roundtable, where they revealed astonishing, unplanned coincidences that occurred during the film’s production — events that mirror the very history they were recreating on screen.
Chhaava: Team opens up about ‘unbelievable historical coincidences’ during shoot; make interesting revelations
At the heart of these revelations was a remarkable incident during the shooting of the film’s climax. The night of February 2 marked the gruelling shoot of a pivotal, intense sequence involving actor Vicky Kaushal. During this demanding scene, Vicky suffered a nerve injury to his arm, which forced the entire production to halt for nearly two months. What left the entire Chhaava team in awe was the realization that this exact date — February 2 — is historically significant as the day when Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj endured brutal torture in real life. This eerie parallel added an unexpected depth and emotional gravity to the filming experience, making the team feel a deep connection to the legendary Maratha warrior’s sacrifice.
The coincidences did not end there. While shooting the Rajyabhishek (coronation) scene of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the cast and crew were struck by the fact that the filming date aligned perfectly with Sambhaji Maharaj’s actual ascension to the throne. This serendipitous timing further intensified the sense of destiny surrounding the project, as if the past and present were converging in a poetic dance of history and cinema.
Director Laxman Utekar, alongside Vicky Kaushal, Divya Dutta (who portrays Maharani Soyrabai), and Vineet Singh Kumar (playing Kavi Kalash), shared these behind-the-scenes moments, expressing how these unplanned historical coincidences left them inspired and humbled. The experience has given Chhaava a profound emotional layer that audiences are sure to feel.
Chhaava is set to premiere on Star Gold this Independence Day weekend, August 17, Sunday at 8 PM. This epic saga of courage, sacrifice, and honor pays tribute to the indomitable spirit of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, making it a must-watch for history buffs and cinema lovers alike. Don’t miss witnessing the roar of Chhaava and experience history coming alive on your screens this Independence Day!
