Push for Tax-Free Status in Maharashtra

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has formally requested Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to declare Chhaava tax-free in the state. The organization believes the film’s portrayal of the Maratha warrior’s legacy should reach a wider audience. “The legacy and courage of this great Maratha king should be known to future generations. Our government strongly believes in ‘Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah,’ and this movie embodies that sentiment,” read FWICE’s appeal to the Chief Minister.

Stellar Cast and Direction

Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava features an ensemble cast that has been lauded for its powerful performances. Rashmika Mandanna shines alongside Vicky Kaushal, while Akshaye Khanna, Vineet Kumar, Ashutosh Rana, and Divya Dutta play pivotal roles. The film’s gripping narrative and high-octane drama, combined with its strong performances, have contributed significantly to its box office success.

With such a powerful start and tremendous audience support, Chhaava is poised to break records and establish itself as one of Bollywood’s biggest hits of 2025. All eyes are now on whether it will cross the coveted Rs 200 crore mark within its first week.
