In February 2025, Vicky Kaushal headlined the historical-action movie “Chhaava,” which turned out to be an unprecedented blockbuster, earning over Rs 550 crore in total sales and cementing its place among Bollywood’s top earners. This monumental success has propelled Vicky into becoming one of the most reliable stars within the industry. However, filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar attributes the film’s success not only to Vicky but also to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, whose role was portrayed by the actor, and the state of Maharashtra for its positive impact on “Chhaava.
During a conversation with Mirchi Marathi, Mahesh Manjrekar shared insights on the acclaim received by Chhaava. He commended Vicky Kaushal as a talented performer but emphasized that the audience didn’t come to watch him specifically. “If they had, they would have also attended the screenings of his previous five films. The audience came to see your character. His earlier films did not resonate with them,” Manjrekar explained, attributing Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s role for the movie’s tremendous success.
Speaking about Maharashtra’s role in the film’s triumph, Mahesh stated, “Indeed, it was Maharashtra that rescued the Hindi film industry; let’s not forget this fact.” He emphasized that a substantial 80% of the credit belongs to the state, with an additional 10% attributable to Pune alone. The remaining credit goes to other regions within Maharashtra. In essence, Mahesh argued, Maharashtra holds the key to the industry’s survival.
Under the guidance of director Laxman Utekar, the movie titled Chhaava hit the big screens on Valentine’s Day, February 14th, 2025. In this production, Vicky Kaushal took up the lead role, while Rashmika Mandanna portrayed his on-screen wife, Yesubai Bhonsale. Akshaye Khanna was cast as Aurangzeb. The film commenced streaming on Netflix on April 11th, 2025.
As a die-hard fan of the multitalented Mahesh Manjrekar, I couldn’t contain my excitement when his latest Marathi film, “Devmanus,” hit theaters on April 25. This masterpiece is directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar and produced by none other than Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg. I had the privilege of seeing Mahesh in the lead, alongside acting veterans Renuka Shahane and Subodh Bhave. The anticipation for this film has been building, and I simply can’t wait to immerse myself in the captivating world of “Devmanus.
