Vicky Kaushal’s latest blockbuster Chhaava is on a roll, and the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) is making sure it reaches even more eyes! In a passionate appeal to Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, FWICE requested the film be declared tax-free in the state, citing its powerful portrayal of Maratha bravery and the inspiring legacy of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
“The youth is greatly influenced by the story, and this tale of sacrifice deserves to be passed down to future generations,” FWICE stated. The move comes as Chhaava smashed the box office with a whopping ₹121.43 crore in just its opening weekend, as confirmed by trade analyst Taran Adarsh. “Chhaava has a dhamakedaar weekend!” he gushed on Instagram.
Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film sees Vicky in what he calls his “toughest role yet,” alongside stars Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna. With audiences flocking to theaters, could a tax exemption push the film into historic territory? Time will tell—but for now, Chhaava is reigning supreme.
