The film, a period drama, portrays the legendary story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, with Vicky Kaushal impressing audiences with his role as the Maratha ruler.
In a recent interview with ANI, Vicky Kaushal admitted that playing Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj was his “toughest role” yet.
The actor underwent immense physical and mental preparation to embody the historical figure, both in terms of his appearance and his understanding of the era.
“Playing such a historical figure requires a lot of discipline, and discipline is tough. If you are not used to discipline, where I was, it becomes very challenging because it’s not just a one-month commitment; it’s a commitment for one and a half to two years,” Vicky said.
“I’m just happy that I get to say that this is the toughest role I’ve played till date. I hope I can continue to grow, not just as an actor but as a human being, with every role I take on,” Vicky said during an interview with ANI.
The film, directed by Laxman Utekar, also stars Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna.Â
