The trailer of Chhaava is out, and it looks like an epic historical drama with Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj stealing the show.
But Rashmika Mandanna as Yesubai is a talking point, dividing fans and critics. While some are questioning if she fits the role culturally and visually, others are saying it’s too early to judge based on the trailer.

Rashmika has faced backlash before, most notably during the release of the Animal trailer, where fans doubted her acting skills and dialogue delivery. But once the film was released, her portrayal of a strong woman was appreciated.
Maybe the same will happen in Chhaava if her performance works, especially in the emotional scenes of Yesubai’s resilience and strength.

The most awaited moment of the film will be the climax, where Sambhaji Maharaj’s betrayal or death will be shown.
This requires Yesubai to show immense grief, determination, and strength. If Rashmika can deliver in this intense scene, her casting will be justified.

Social media trolling is a norm for big films. Just like Animal overcame the pre-release doubts, Chhaava can do the same.
If the story, performances, and execution are up to the mark, the initial negativity will be forgotten.
While the discussions about Rashmika Mandanna’s casting continue, the real test will be on screen. A good Yesubai can change opinions and win over hearts.
Chhaava is releasing on 14th February 2025. Let’s wait and see how the film brings history to life and if the casting works.
