'Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale' Release Date Revealed
Acclaimed director Mahesh Waman Manjrekar is set to reignite the legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj with his upcoming film ‘Punha Shivajiraje Bhosale’. Following the massive success of the 2009 cult classic ‘Mee Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy’, Manjrekar is once again ready to bring the warrior king to life on the big screen — and the official release date of the film will be revealed today at 2:32 PM.
A cryptic reel currently going viral on social media features the powerful message:
“Raja yeil... Tarikh kalel aaj!” (The King will come... the date will be known today!)Building curiosity and excitement among fans and history lovers across Maharashtra.
Powerful Slogan and Poster Launch
The film’s first poster was unveiled on the occasion of Shivrajyabhishek Day in June, with the impactful slogan: “Maharashtra only listens to Maharaj!”. Since then, anticipation has been steadily building, especially among fans of the earlier film that became a cultural milestone.
Cast and Crew
Directed and written by Mahesh Manjrekar, the film is produced by Rahul Puranik and Rahul Sugandh, with dialogues penned by Siddharth Salvi.
Young actor Siddharth Bodke, known for his compelling performances in Marathi and Hindi cinema, will portray the iconic role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Child artist Trisha Thosar also plays a significant role in the narrative.
A Powerful Continuation
While plot details remain under wraps, sources suggest the film will explore pressing social and political themes, with Maharashtra at the emotional and ideological core. The film aims to revisit fundamental questions that resonate with the state's cultural and political identity today.
In ‘Mee Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy’, Mahesh Manjrekar himself portrayed Shivaji Maharaj, alongside powerful performances by Sachin Khedekar, Makarand Anaspure, Suchitra Bandekar, Priya Bapat, Vidyadhar Joshi, and others — a film that left a deep mark on Marathi cinema.
