**Hyderabad, March 7, 2025** – The Telugu dub of the historical action drama “Chhaava” opened to rave reviews and strong audience turnout today. Starring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, the film, already a massive success in Hindi, is projected to repeat its box office triumph in the Telugu states.

Fans on X are praising Kaushal’s powerful performance and the film’s emotional intensity, describing it as an “emotional rollercoaster” with a “hard-hitting climax.” The grand visuals, intense action sequences, and impactful dialogues have been widely lauded, with many calling it a must-see cinematic experience. The Telugu dub itself has received particular praise, with viewers claiming it rivals the original Hindi version in quality and immersion.

The film’s release was preceded by a successful marketing campaign, including a Telugu teaser that fueled considerable excitement. While rumors circulated about Jr. NTR’s involvement in the dubbing, producer Bunny Vas confirmed that this was not the case. Despite being released in Hindi over a month ago, “Chhaava” is continuing its successful run, having concluded its third week with a total India net collection of Rs 483.40 crore.

The Telugu release boasts a wide distribution across over 550 screens, capitalizing on the pre-existing buzz and anticipation. Initial reports suggest decent advance bookings, indicating a strong start for the film in the Telugu market. The inclusion of the previously controversial Lezim dance sequence, absent from the Hindi version, is also generating discussion. The film also features Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai and Akshaye Khanna as Aurangzeb. Director Laxman Utekar’s epic portrayal of Sambhaji’s resistance against Aurangzeb promises to captivate Telugu audiences as it did Hindi audiences.
