Chhaava was earlier slated to hit the screens on December 6 with Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule
Actor Vicky Kaushal's upcoming film Chhaava's release date has been postponed. The historical drama will not be released this year. Fans have to wait till February 2025 for Chhaava. Earlier, it was slated to hit the big screens on December 6, one day after Allu Arjun starrer Pushpa 2: The Rule release.
Trade analyst, Taran Adarsh announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday evening. He tweeted, “VICKY KAUSHAL - RASHMIKA - AKSHAYE KHANNA: 'CHHAAVA' NEW RELEASE DATE ANNOUNCEMENT... #Chhaava is now set for a theatrical release on 14 Feb 2025... The release date holds special significance since it coincides with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti on 19 Feb 2025.”
Chhaava's teaser was unveiled in August and the release date was also locked. It was to clash with Pushpa 2 which is creating a lot of buzz ahead of its release on December 5. Releasing Chhaava with Pushpa 2 would have been a huge loss for the makers given Pushpa 2's craze. So, averting the clash was a good option for Chhaava.
Chhaava is an action-drama based on the Maratha warrior-king Chhatrapati Sambhaji. Vicky Kaushal plays the real-life icon from Indian history. The teaser showed Vicky as an injured and blood-soaked royal Maratha Sambhaji who is all set to take down his enemies.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava also stars Rashmika Mandanna, Akshaye Khanna, Ashutosh Rana, Divya Dutta, Neil Bhoopalam and Santosh Juvekar in significant roles. The movie has been backed by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films.
