of
the
Maratha
Empire,

makers
of
the
upcoming
film,
Chhava
-
The
Great
Warrior
released

The

is

on
the
book
titled
Chhatrapati
Sambhaji
Maharaj
written
by
Dr
Jaysingrao
Pawar.
Presented
by
Malhar

Jadhav,
Chhava
-
The
Great
Warrior
encapsulates
the
saga
of
Sambhaji
Maharaj's
adventure
and
bravery.
Talking
about
the
film,
director
Rahul
Janardan
Jadhav
says,
"Shambhu
Raje
is
a
true
youth
icon.
The
first
prince
of
the
Swarajya,
who
began
studying
politics
from
the
age
of
nine,
had
a
strong
command
over
martial
arts,
literature
and
fourteen
languages
.
I
wanted
to
make
a
movie
on
a
real
superhero
rather
than
a
superhero
of
my
imagination."
Speaking
about
the
legendary
warrior
prince,
The
great
historian
and
novelist
Dr
Jaysingrao
Pawar
shares,
"Chatrapati
Sambhaji
Maharaj
is
a
symbol
of
boundless
sacrifice,
extreme
endurance,
patriotism
and
martyrdom.
He
was
a
shadow
of
the
Marathas
with
a
deep
obsession
with
various
sciences,
scriptures
and
Puranas.
I
am
confident
that
this
movie
will
acquaint
the
current
generation
with
the
power
of
Shambhurajya."
The
film's
producer
Sunny
Rajani
adds,
"The
world's
first
bulletproof
jacket
was
invented
by
Sambhaji
Maharaj
and
the
first
biological
battle
was
fought
by
Shambhuraj
with
intellect.
He
bent
the
Mughals
and
the
Portuguese,
made
the
British
dance
and
drowned
Siddi
in
the
river.
He
was
invincible
till
his
last
breath
and
did
not
lose
a
single
battle.
And
we
are
fortunate
and
truly
glad
enough
to
make
a
film
about
his
dynamic
life."
Chhava
-
The
Great
Warrior
will
soon
hit
the
theatres.
