Magnum opus in the making by Ramesh Thete, ‘The Battle of Bhima Koregaon’!
The untouchable warrior Nagvanshi- Mahar community having been subjected to inhuman and heinous social atrocities by the Peshwa rulers, eventually takes historical revenge on the Peshwai. In a do or die situation, only 500 Mahar soldiers defeat a strong army of 28000 soldiers of Doosra Bajirao Peshwa, thus putting an end to the Peshwa rule. To encapsulate this piece of history Lyricist, Producer and Director Ramesh Thete has taken up a task and is making ‘The Battle of Bhima Koregaon’ on a big scale. The first look of the same was unveiled recently. The first look of the film is painstakingly detailed, historically rich, royal, colorful and precisely emotional. It features the actors in their film characters and without a doubt, it looks majestic.
“On one hand, the film will be closer to the history with cinematic liberty as required, and on the other, it will succeed in removing all the misconceptions surrounding the subject whatsoever and create a congenial atmosphere and social harmony leading to public empathy towards the then untouchables,” says Ramesh Thete.
The teasers of the songs give a feel of grandeur and melody. Sunny Leone has performed the lavni dance on the song “Rangeeli rat ka rang tha wo nyara” for the first time in her career. Shreya Ghoshal has sung this song beautifully. It is touted to be a super hit of the year. Sunny looks impressive and glamorous in her performance.
A duet sung by Sonu Nigam and Shreya is equally melodious. It can also be a super hit. The choreography by Ganesh Acharya is superb. The film will be released in the second half of 2021 in multiplexes, theatres and also on RTF company’s own OTT platform.
