Vicky Kaushal and Akshaye Khanna are as diverse as ever in the Chhaava Trailer. Meanwhile, Rashmika Mandanna matches the character nicely thus far.
Vicky Kaushal is a chameleon who can effortlessly transform into any role assigned to him by a script. So when it was announced that the actor will star in his first period drama, Chhaava, as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, fans waited with bated breath to see him transform. Meanwhile, Vicky’s co-star and onscreen wife Rashmika Mandanna’s debut appearance as Maharani Yesubai failed to please, with many comparing her to Pushpa 2’s Srivalli with more jewelry. Well, the teaser for Chhaava is finally up, and while Vicky’s domination onscreen as a Maratha ruler is unsurprising, Rashmika’s diction is a refreshing change.
The three-minute teaser will make you fall in love with Vicky Kaushal because he completely transforms the character. With his commanding language skills and electrifying high-speed action scenes, he truly shines as a superstar! His command over the Hindi language is amazing. Our only concern is that the short dancing sequence does not fit the storyline. Vicky makes up for it in the end by fighting a lion and yelling at the jungle king. His relationship with Rashmika Mandanna is also pretty endearing. The most pleasant surprise is Rashmika’s diction, which was cruelly mocked when she appeared alongside Ranbir Kapoor in Animal (2023). She definitely put in the effort and truly deserves the recognition!
Akshaye Khanna, on the other side, demonstrates his flexibility as the villain—Mughal Shahenshah Aurangzeb.He truly mirrors the formidable leader portrayed in historical records. Fans, like us, are thrilled with Chhaava’s trailer. A social media user commented below, saying, It’s not just one scene, but the entire trailer that gives me endless goosebumps.
What an impressive movie trailer! Everything about it screams blockbuster,” one fan shared, while another added, “Akshay Khanna and Vicky Kaushal absolutely owned their roles. Bollywood’s comeback is finally here! Total goosebumps 🎉.
