Honor more than cinema, artists sacrificed money for Ritesh Deshmukh’s film, gave priority to history

New Delhi.These days, a film has become a topic of discussion in Marathi cinema, which has created a special identity due to its subject and presentation as well as the dedication of the artists. ‘Raja Shivaji’ directed and starring Ritesh Deshmukh is continuously garnering appreciation among the audience. The film is based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his indomitable courage, which has been presented effectively on the big screen. Since its release, the film has received tremendous support from the Marathi audience and is also maintaining a strong hold at the box office.

Amidst the success of the film, one thing has come to light which has made it even more special. Many big artists working in this film did not take any fee for it. Names like Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt are included in this list. This decision of these artists shows that this film was not just a project for them, but a historical and emotional responsibility.

While sharing his thinking behind making this film, Riteish Deshmukh said that he worked on this subject for a long time. For about three and a half years, he tried to understand the information related to the life of Shivaji Maharaj and present it in the correct form. His aim was that there should be no compromise of any kind in the film and that the audience should get to see a strong and authentic story.

Its star cast has played a major role in strengthening the story and presentation of the film. It includes experienced actors like Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Vidya Balan, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan and Amol Gupte. Everyone has played their respective characters with complete seriousness, which has further increased the quality and impact of the film.

Another special thing about this project is that Genelia Deshmukh has also played an important role in it and cooperated in the construction process. The film has been presented in Marathi as well as Hindi, so that it can reach maximum audiences and its story can be understood across the country.

This film is not only becoming a means of entertainment among the audience, but it is also giving an opportunity to know the history closely and connect with it. Especially for the young generation, this film has emerged as an inspiration, encouraging them to know about their glorious past.

This film is also proving to be an important turning point in the career of Ritesh Deshmukh. Till now he has been seen mainly in light-hearted and comic characters, but in ‘Raja Shivaji’ he has given new dimensions to his image by playing a serious and responsible role.

Overall, this film has emerged as an effort in which the artists have given priority to history and culture above personal gain. The decision to work without fees is a clear indication that when the cause is big, dedication becomes the greatest strength.
