The upcoming film Chhaava based on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's life has sparked outrage due to a controversial dance scene involving Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna. The controversy, led by historical objections, calls for a review before the film’s release.

The upcoming film Chhaava, based on the life of Maratha warrior-king Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, is facing significant backlash after its trailer was released.
