And these days, Chhaava is making waves throughout the country (In dino to Chhaava ki dhoom machi hui hai).

As Chhaava continues to captivate audiences across the country, it stands as a tribute to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’s indomitable spirit, ensuring his story reaches and inspires generations to come.
