It was previously reported that director Amit Rai, known for OMG 2, is collaborating with Shahid Kapoor for a movie depicting the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, produced by Wakaoo Films. Now, it has been revealed that Telugu producer Dil Raju is joining forces with Wakaoo Films for this project. The film is currently in pre-production and is being spearheaded by producers Vipul D Shah, Ashwin Varde, and Rajesh Bahl. Notably, Dil Raju and Shahid were initially set to collaborate on Aneez Bazmee’s comedy film, which did not materialize.
According to a source cited by Pinkvilla, the upcoming untitled film featuring Shahid Kapoor is considered one of the most ambitious projects in Indian cinema. The makers aim to celebrate the valor of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on a grand scale. Amit Rai, the director, has been passionately working on this subject for some time, and the film is his dream project. The team is dedicated to creating an authentic portrayal of the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, with extensive writing, research, and pre-visualization efforts underway.
The source also mentioned the challenges of encapsulating Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s life within a standard feature film duration, given the depth and richness of his story. The film is expected to focus on one of the most heroic victories of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Shahid Kapoor’s involvement in the project has generated significant buzz, and the film is anticipated to be released in five languages.
In addition to this project, Shahid Kapoor is also involved in other notable films, including Rosshan Andrrews’ Deva and Ashwatthama – The Saga Continues. Furthermore, the excitement around Jee Le Zaraa and the highly anticipated Don 3, where Ranveer Singh will play the titular role and Kiara Advani will be the leading lady, has garnered significant attention from fans.
The potential collaboration between Shahid Kapoor and director Amit Rai for the historical film on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj has been a subject of advanced discussions, generating significant interest in the film industry. While there are varying opinions and speculations about the project, the anticipation surrounding this ambitious venture remains high.
