Watch the Chhaava Trailer
The trailer for Chhaava was released on Wednesday, giving viewers a glimpse of the epic drama. The excitement is building as fans wait to see the grandeur of the film.
The three-minute-long trailer will make you fall in love with Vicky Kaushal because he is unrecognisable as he breathes life into the character. From his impactful dialogue delivery to his high-octane action sequences, the man is a true star! His command over the Hindi language is unreal. The only complaint is the short dancing sequence, which does not fit the premise. But Vicky makes up for it in the end as he fights a lion, roaring into the jungle king’s face. His chemistry with Rashmika Mandanna is also quite cute. The most pleasant surprise is Rashmika’s diction, which was brutally trolled when she shared the screen with Ranbir Kapoor in Animal (2023). She has worked on it and deserves praise!
With its historical theme and strong cast, the movie is expected to be a treat for history lovers and cinema enthusiasts. Are you excited?
