Laxman Utekar chose to take on an enormous project of rewriting the biography of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj for his first historical drama. This yearning gave rise to Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which is an adaptation of shivaji Sawant's same-titled Marathi novel. In light of the biopic's emphasis on the maratha king's rule and his disputes with Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, Sambhaji's coronation ceremony in 1681 is a significant story point. It has been reported that the filmmaker filmed a lavish song in May to represent the occasion, including Kaushal, leading lady rashmika mandanna, and 700 backing dancers.
Our sources inform us that production designers Subrata Chakraborty and amit Ray constructed a large set at Film City that was modeled after the Raigad Fort. AR Rahman, the song's composer, spent four days filming in the location. According to a source, the Raigad fort served as the site of the official coronation, which happened on january 16, 1681.
During the research phase of Chhaava, it was discovered that a piece about the coronation ceremony's vibrancy had appeared in a london newspaper. The filmmaker used the article to help him recreate the scene. Vicky's Sambhaji is shown in the song as carrying out the thread ritual and yagna, while his wife Yesubai performs the aarti and Rajabhishek. The monarch is ultimately seen assuming the throne as his realm exults.
