The song ‘Raja Shivaji Anthem ‘Chhatrapati” from the movie ‘Raja Shivaji’ was revealed on Wednesday, capturing the essence of Hindavi Swarajya with pride and courage. Composed by Ajay–Atul and sung by Ajay Gogavale with the support of 80 chorus singers, the track aims to evoke deep emotions and a sense of reverence. Ajay–Atul emphasized the importance of infusing emotion and truth into the song to honor its legacy, hoping it resonates deeply with the audience.
Mounted on a grand scale yet deeply emotional, the song offers a powerful sonic experience with thundering beats, evocative lyrics, and a rising emotional arc. Choreographed by Remo D’Souza, the song blends grandeur with soul, reflecting the collective spirit of a united people welcoming their beloved king. The film ‘Raja Shivaji’ portrays the remarkable legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, presenting a pan-India spectacle that combines visual grandeur with an inspiring narrative rooted in the birth of Swarajya.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Empire in western India, challenged the Deccan Sultanates and the Mughal Empire to establish an independent kingdom. His successful raids on Pune and Surat in the 1660s weakened Mughal control in the region, marking significant milestones in Indian history. The movie features a star-studded cast including Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, and others, and is set to release worldwide on May 1, 2026, in Marathi, Hindi, and Telugu languages.
