Chhaava: Rashmika Mandanna exudes grace and royalty in first look posters

Actor Rashmika Mandanna’s first look from Chhaava was released on Tuesday. She plays the role of queen Yesubai, Chattrapati Sambhaji’s wife in the film. Chhaava features Vicky Kaushal in the titular role, playing Maratha king and warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.

Earlier, the makers also released multiple posters of Vicky’s look from the film, promising an historical-action experience like never before. The trailer of the film will be released on Wednesday. The makers announced the same on social media while sharing the posters featuring Rashmika. A post made by Maddock Films on Instagram read, “Behind every great king, there stands a queen of unmatched strength. Introducing @rashmika_mandanna as Maharani Yesubai – the pride of Swarajya. #ChhaavaTrailer Out Tomorrow! Releasing in cinemas on 14th February 2025. #Chhaava #ChhaavaOnFeb14 (sic).”

This is the first time Rashmika and Vicky have been paired together on the screen. Chhaava narrates the valour of Sambhaji Maharaj, son of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and shows him carrying the strength of four great natural elements that make the world – earth, fire, water and air.

This is also the first time that Vicky will be seen doing an out-and-out action, historical film. Chhaava is based on a Marathi book of the same title, written by Shivaji Sawant. It is directed by Laxman Utekar, and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films. AR Rahman has composed the music for the film. It is slated to hit the screens on February 14.
