Ram Navami Special: Ram-Sita Duo to Portray Historic Characters in Upcoming Film

On the auspicious occasion of Shri Ram Navami, the first poster of their new film, "Veer Murarbaji… Purandar Ki Yuddha Gatha", has been unveiled. In this historical drama, Arun Govil will play Chhatrapati Shahaji Raje Bhosale, while Deepika Chikhalia will essay the role of Rajmata Jijau.

The film is produced by Bhausaheb Arekar and directed by Ajay-Anirudh, and promises to bring to life a key chapter in Maratha history.

Actors Reflect on Their Roles

Speaking about the project, the beloved duo shared their excitement over collaborating once again, this time in a historical context rather than a mythological one.

“It was a great honour to portray legendary personalities like Shahaji Raje and Rajmata Jijau. These are not just characters—they are icons who shaped history and inspired generations. Playing such roles comes with immense pride and social responsibility,” they expressed.

Their pairing, long associated with devotion, now takes a patriotic turn as they step into roles of leaders who laid the foundation for Swarajya.

Celebrating the Legacy of Veer Murarbaji Deshpande

The film tells the courageous tale of Murarbaji Deshpande, the valiant general known as the ‘Kaalbhairav of Purandar’, who led a fearless stand during the siege of Purandar Fort. His fierce resistance and heroic sacrifice against the Mughal forces earned him a timeless place in the annals of Maratha history.

"Veer Murarbaji… Purandar Ki Yuddha Gatha" aims to bring this legend to the silver screen, inspiring viewers with a tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and valor. The release date of the film is expected to be announced soon.

With the return of a legendary on-screen duo and a powerful historical narrative, this film is set to be a highlight for audiences who revere India's rich cultural and historical heritage.
