Rashmika Opens Up About Playing Maharani Yesubai in Chhaava
Rashmika Mandanna expressed her ideas on depicting the strong and royal persona of Maharani Yesubai in an emotional sequence of pictures and videos taken from the Chhaava set. The gifted actress said she never expected, particularly as a South Indian actor, the chance to perform such a legendary character. When she thought back on her path, she stated, “I never gave a South Indian playing Maharani Yesubai any thought. I never would have believed it was feasible. And working with those that enable us to dream beyond constraints fascinates me as well.
Then the Maharani appeared in all her majesty, and Rashmika went on to speak with respect about her character. She is a real queen: tough, strong, and elegant. I really identify with her love—pure, divine, respectful, and honest. Maharaj and Maharani have a relationship that goes much beyond words; it is a link that spans all.”
Her remarks encapsulate the depth and passion she has infused in the role of Maharani Yesubai, thereby signifying a significant milestone in her career. Rashmika’s performance promises to bring this outstanding person to life with all the strength and grace she so merits.
"Chhaava"—a historical epic directed by Laxman
Under the auspices of Maddock Films, director Laxman’s much-awaited historical drama Chhaava—produced by Dinesh Vijan—promises to be enthralling. The film vividly captures a pivotal era in history with its gripping plot and superb actors.
With Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Chhaava transports viewers through the life of one of the most fabled leaders of India. Vicky’s performance of the warrior king is supposed to be strong and fierce. Rashmika Mandanna plays his wife, Yesubai Bhonsale, whose part gives the story emotional depth.
Akshaye Khanna also plays the strong Aurangzeb, a character whose presence will surely heighten the drama in the narrative. Diana Penty plays the daughter of Aurangzeb, Zinat-un-Nissa Begum, whose path gives the historical events in progress a human context.
Renowned AR Rahman writes the soundtrack for Chhaava; his works will definitely increase the emotional effect of the movie and envelop spectators in its ambiance. Chhaava is poised to be a major contribution to historical film with a stellar cast, renowned director, and legendary music maestro.
