Actor Vicky Kaushal was filled with pride and honor as he received praise from Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his performance in the historical action drama film, Chhaava. During the 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan on Friday, Modi commended Maharashtra and Mumbai for their contribution in taking Marathi and Hindi cinema to new heights.
Modi spoke highly of Chhaava, which has been creating waves since its release last week and has earned over Rs 300 crore globally. The movie stars Kaushal in the role of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the son of Maratha empire founder Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The actor took to Instagram to express his gratitude, posting a video of Modi's speech and writing, "Honored beyond words! Grateful to Hon. PM Narendra Modi ji. #Chhaava." His co-star Rashmika Mandanna, who plays Yesubai in the film, also shared Modi's praise on her Instagram Stories, saying, "Thank you so much @narendramodi sir, it's truly an honor."
Chhaava, produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock films, also shared a clip of Modi's speech on their official Instagram handle. "A historic honor! It is a great moment of pride as Honorable Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi ji applauds 'Chhaava' and honors Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's sacrifice and legacy. This moment fills us with immense gratitude," the studio wrote. They also expressed their gratitude towards the entire team of the film for this special mention.
The film has been declared tax-free in Goa and Madhya Pradesh and has received widespread critical acclaim. Along with Kaushal and Mandanna, it also stars Akshaye Khanna, Diana Penty, Vineet Kumar Singh, and Ashutosh Rana. With its powerful story and stellar performances, Chhaava continues to win hearts and make the nation proud.
