Chhaava is a gripping historical action drama that brings the fierce spirit of Maratha warrior king Sambhaji to life, with Vicky Kaushal in the lead. He delivers a remarkable performance, fully embodying Sambhaji’s strength and warrior spirit.

Hrithik Roshan, the Greek god of Bollywood, took on the role of Emperor Akbar in the 2008 film Jodhaa Akbar. His portrayal of the emperor was nothing short of magnificent, capturing the grandeur and opulence of the time while also showcasing Akbar’s deep devotion, integrity, and commitment to his kingdom. His impeccable body language adds depth to the character.
