For the first time a film is being made in Hindi on the life of Martha warrior Chhatrapati Shivaji.
Filmmaker Mehul Kumar is all geared up to direct a film on Shivaji Maharaj. The movie’s script is already complete and now pre-production work is said to be underway for the ambitious historical project.
Mehul’s favourite actor Nana Patekar will play the role of the Maratha warrior in the film. It is believed to be a dream role for Nana who had wanted a Hindi movie to be made on Chhatrapati Shivaji for a long time.
Before shooting the film, Nana will do intense research on the life of the Maratha warrior. He will also train extensively in horse riding and sword fighting.
In the past, Nana and Mehul Kumar have worked together in hard-hitting films like ‘Krantiveer’, ‘Tiranga’ and ‘Kohram’.
