Maharaj,
who
inspired
the
nation
with
his
bravery
and
was
rewarded
as
one
of
the
greatest
Kings
of
all
time.
"It
took
eight
years
of
research
to
achieve
what
we
were
aiming
to
narrate
on
celluloid,"
says
director
Ravi
Jadhav
who
always
wanted
to
make
a
film
on
this
subject
since
2015.
Jadhav
met
producer
Sandeep
Singh
last
year
and
narrated
the
story.
"It
was
an
instant
click
with
Sandeep,
who
understood
the
importance
and
significance
of
telling
this
story
of
valour.
After
all,
it's
an
ode
to
one
of
the
greatest
kings
that
have
ever
ruled
in
India,
it
certainty
will
be
inspiring
film
for
all
the
youngsters
across
globe." he
added.
This
visual
extravaganza
will
highlight
many
stories
of
Shivaji
Maharaj's
childhood
incidents
that
shaped
up
the
future
of
India's
history.
"I
always
wanted
to
make
a
historical.
So
when
Ravi
approached
me
with
this
subject,
it
immediately
worked
for
me.
It's
an
honour
to
make
a
film
based
on
an
iconic
personality
like
Chhatrapati
Shivaji
Maharaj," says
filmmaker
Sandeep
Singh
from
Legend
Studios.
Pradeep
Dwivedi,
Group
CEO
and
Executive
Director,
Eros
International
media
Limited
(EIML)
feels
that
this
is
the
right
time
to
narrate
the
untold
story
of
Chhatrapati
Shivaji
Maharaj's
life.
He
says,
"Shivaji
Maharaj's
life
story
has
been
a
part
of
every
Indians
growing
up
life.
But
after
reading
this
script,
we
realized
that
there
were
so
many
lesser
known
yet
pivotal
points
in
his
formative
years
that
made
him
the
legend
he
became.
With
such
a
talented
team
in
place,
I
am
sure
we
will
deliver
an
insightful
and
an
engaging
film
on
a
scale
and
grandeur
of
an
international
project."
"We
have
all
grown
up
listening
to
the
stories
of
Chhatrapati
Shivaji
Maharaj
and
as
a
filmmaker
and
an
admirer
of
his
heroism,
I
wanted
to
dive
deep
in
the
lesser-known
aspects
of
his
glorious
life.
And
of
course,
a
film
of
this
scale
would
need
a
huge
canvas
so
we
are
coming
together
to
support
each
other
to
ensure
that
the
grandeur
and
majesty
of
the
protagonist
as
revered
as
Chhatrapati
Shivaji
can
be
done
complete
justice
to." says
producer,

Pandit
