Vicky Kaushal is ready to set the screen ablaze as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in Chhaava, but according to director Laxman Utekar, the intensity wasn’t just for the cameras! During an exclusive Pinkvilla Masterclass, the duo spilled behind-the-scenes secrets, and let’s just say, the Josh was sky-high!
Kaushal, who Laxman fondly calls “Raaze,” was a force of nature on set. “When he stepped out in costume, the entire crew went silent—like a lion walking in,” Utekar revealed. But while Vicky brought the fire, the director kept things ice-cool. “Not once did he lose his temper, even in chaos,” the actor praised.
The team’s passion was evident, with every shoot day starting with a Shiv Garjana chant. “Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs—everyone shouted ‘Jai’ with the same energy. That’s the power of this story,” Utekar shared.
With Chhaava set to storm cinemas on February 14, 2025, fans can’t wait to witness Vicky’s transformation. Will his portrayal redefine period dramas? We’ll find out soon!
