Overview
- T-Series officially joined the project on Friday, Oct. 30, 2026, as a producer alongside Legend Studios and the original creative team.
- Rishab Shetty is confirmed to play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and is attached as a co-producer on the two‑part saga.
- Makers say pre-production is under way and principal photography is scheduled to begin in early 2027.
- The film is planned as a large-scale ensemble with a creative team combining talent from India and overseas, and the script will focus on Shivaji’s battles, leadership and the idea of Swarajya.
- Producers marked the partnership with Bhushan Kumar presenting Shetty a century-old painting, and T-Series’ involvement signals greater budget, marketing and distribution reach that could bring the story to a wider national and international audience.
