Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, Chhaava is a historical action film that chronicles the life of Maratha king Sambhaji, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal. The cast also features Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai, Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb, Ashutosh Rana as Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite, and Divya Dutta as Soyarabai. This film is based on the Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant. The musical score and soundtrack are crafted by A. R. Rahman, with lyrics written by Irshad Kamil.

While Chhaava is currently in theatres, if a report by OTTplay is to be believed, the film is expected to premiere on Netflix after completing its time in cinemas. However, unlike many recent releases where streaming partnerships are announced in advance, the makers of Chhaava have kept details under wraps. Typically, films land on streaming platforms 45–60 days post-release, but an official update from the team is still awaited.
