Nagraj Manjule, known for directing the acclaimed Marathi movie Sairat, will now be creating a trilogy on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He has teamed up with actor Ritesh Deshmukh and music composers Ajay-Atul for the ambitious project.
Deshmukh took to twitter on the 390th Birth Anniversary of Shivaji to share the first sneak preview of the trilogy. Deshmukh wrote a message in Marathi, proudly announcing the project while seeking the blessings of his well wishers.
अभिमानाने सादर करत आहोत...

तुम्हा सर्वांचा आशिर्वाद असू द्या....

Deshmukh’s Marathi message has given rise to a speculation that the movie would be shot in Marathi, followed by possible dubbing in other languages.
This announcement comes after the box office success of “Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior” based upon Shivaji’s valiant general Tanhaji Malusare who captured Kondhana from the Mughals. It was later renamed Sinhagad in his honour.
