Talking about his film Chhaava, it features Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna alongside Vicky.
Chhaava is a historical drama based on the life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, played by Vicky. The film showcases the brave Maratha ruler’s reign, starting from his coronation in 1681.
Vicky Talks About Preparing for Chhaava
During the film’s promotion in Jaipur, Vicky Kaushal shared how he got ready for his role in Chhaava. He mentioned that making a biopic requires a lot of effort from the entire team. Since it’s a historical film, it was challenging due to the large budget and the need to recreate a past era accurately. “We tried to make it as real as possible,” Vicky said.
He also explained that his preparation was both physical and mental. “I did action training, bodybuilding, and researched the history to truly understand that time period,” he added.
Chhaava is set to release in theaters on February 14.
After Chhaava, Vicky will star in Mahavatar, where he will play the warrior sage Parashurama. This film, inspired by Indian mythology, will be released in cinemas in Christmas 2026.
