Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava postponed to 2025, Pushpa 2 to have a solo release

Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which was all set for a clash with Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, has now been postponed.

According to reports, Chhaava will now be released on February 14, 2025. This has paved the way for Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule to have a solo release across India. Pushpa 2 now has an edge to take over India by storm by having most of the theatres and screens up for grabs.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, in a post on Instagram, announced the postponement of Chhaava. His post read, ” #Chhaava is now set for a theatrical release on 14 Feb 2025… The release date holds special significance since it coincides with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti on 19 Feb 2025 (sic).”

Chhaava was initially slated to release on December 6, a day after Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule’s release. Incidentally, both films feature Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead. Earlier in August, the makers unveiled the teaser of Chhaava, which piqued everyone’s curiosity. In the film, Vicky Kaushal will be seen as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Apart from Vicky Kaushal, the film also features Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna in lead roles.

Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava is an historical action film adapted from the Marathi novel of the same name by Shivaji Sawant. The film is produced on a massive scale by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films. Cinematographer Saurabh Goswami, editor Manish Pradhan and composer AR Rahman are part of the technical team.
