Shetty's 2-part 'The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj' 2028-29
Big news for history buffs and movie fans: Rishab Shetty's next project, The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, will be released in two parts, one in 2028 and the second in 2029.
The team decided to split the film so they could dive deeper into Shivaji Maharaj's legendary story and really do justice to his legacy.
Shetty's film crosses ₹500cr budget
With an estimated budget that crosses ₹500 crore, this is set to be one of India's biggest historical films. A substantial portion of the film is expected to be shot across Maharashtra, where Shivaji actually lived and fought.
Production is likely to begin after Shetty wraps up Jai Hanuman. After winning hearts with Kantara (and snagging a national award), Shetty's first look as Shivaji has already gotten fans buzzing.
This might just be his most ambitious project yet.
