Chhaava Release Date Update: Bollywood fans eagerly awaiting Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama, Chhaava, will have to wait a bit longer. Originally slated for release on December 6, 2024, the movie’s release has now been rescheduled. Chhaava will hit theaters on February 14, 2025, aligning closely with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, which falls on February 19, 2025.
Why Was Chhaava Postponed?
The primary reason for the change is the highly anticipated release of Pushpa 2: The Rule, starring Allu Arjun, on December 5, 2024. To avoid a box office clash with this pan-Indian blockbuster, the makers of Chhaava decided to move their film to a more favorable date. This strategic shift not only avoids competition but also capitalizes on the patriotic sentiment associated with Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy in February.
Chhaava: Cast, Crew, and Storyline
Chhaava is a historical biopic based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The movie is expected to showcase the valor and contributions of Sambhaji Maharaj to Indian history.

- Producer: Dinesh Vijan

Fans’ Reactions and Anticipation
