Actor Vicky Kaushal emphasized the significance of portraying real heroes like Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj in films. Starring in the upcoming movie 'Chhaava', set to release on December 6, Kaushal presented the film's teaser at a special event, expressing pride in depicting India's rich history.

Actor Vicky Kaushal on Tuesday emphasized the importance of portraying real-life heroes, contrasting them with fictional characters from the West.

The actor, a National Award winner, described playing Sambhaji Maharaj as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He believes that India's history is replete with real superheroes whose valor and sacrifices should be celebrated and shared with the world. The film also features Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna, with music composed by A R Rahman.
