Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna's blockbuster Chhaava to release in Telugu on this date; it has Allu Arjun connection

Based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's son Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, Chhaava was released in cinemas on February 14. Vicky Kaushal portrays th Maratha warrior in the historical action film. As its original Hindi version is having a blockbuster run at the box office, Chhaava is now all set to release in the dubbed version in Telugu on March 7.

The production house Maddock Films made the announcement on its social media handles on Wednesday on the occasion of Maha Shivratri as it shared the poster of the Telugu dubbed version. The caption read, "The epic tale of India’s courageous son, #Chhaava is now all set to roar in Telugu by popular demand. Witness the biggest spectacle #Chhaava in Telugu from March 7th. Chhaava Telugu Grand Release by Geetha Arts Distributions."

Geetha Arts is the production and distribution company owned by Allu Arjun's father Allu Aravind. Initially, Chhaava was slated to hit theatres on December 6 last year, but it was postponed to February 14 to avoid the clash with Pushpa 2, which was released on December 5. This proved beneficial for both the films as the Allu Arjun film grossed Rs 1800 crore globally and the Vicky Kaushal film is dominating the ticket windows now.
