“Raja Shivaji” is a historical action drama based on the life of Shivaji, the Maratha Empire’s founder. The movie boasts an ensemble cast featuring Riteish in the lead role, supported by actors like Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, and others. It aims to showcase the remarkable legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on a grand scale rarely seen in Marathi cinema.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, known for establishing the Maratha Empire in western India, challenged the Deccan Sultanates and the Mughal Empire to create an independent kingdom. The film, presented by Jio Studios and set to release on May 1, 2026, in Marathi, Hindi, and Telugu, promises to be a cinematic spectacle celebrating Shivaji’s historic achievements.
