Exclusive Interview with Hema Chandra about Shambore Song

One of Bollywood’s biggest hits of the year, Chhaavaa, starring Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna, recently made its way to Telugu audiences. Despite minimal promotional efforts, the film managed to collect a respectable Rs. 2.9 crore gross at the box office on its opening day in Telugu states.

Following its remarkable success in Hindi, Chhaavaa saw significant demand on social media for a Telugu release. Responding to this, renowned production house Geetha Arts acquired the Telugu rights. However, the film’s pre-release promotions in the Telugu market remained underwhelming. Despite this setback, Chhaavaa registered a decent opening, indicating strong audience interest.

With no major Telugu releases this week, industry analysts predict that Chhaavaa could perform well over the weekend. If the film garners positive word-of-mouth, particularly in B and C centers, it has the potential to witness sustained box office growth.

Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan, Chhaavaa is a compelling biographical drama chronicling the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s son, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Given its historical significance and powerful performances, the film’s success in Telugu markets will largely depend on audience reception in the coming days.
