Rishab Shetty’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Film Ropes in Hollywood Action Team

Rishab Shetty’s highly anticipated historical epic, The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, is set to raise the bar for Indian cinema by enlisting a renowned Hollywood stunt team. After his recent successes, Shetty’s transformation for this ambitious project has already generated considerable excitement among fans and industry watchers alike.

The film, helmed by director Sandeep Singh, is being mounted on an unprecedented scale, with a reported combined budget exceeding ₹500 crore for its two-part saga. To match the legendary exploits of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the makers have brought in action designer Mark Henson, who will lead a team that includes Vlad Rimburg and Craig Macrae—names associated with international hits like Game of Thrones, Vikings, The Witcher, Gravity, and The Fate of the Furious. This move signals the production’s intent to deliver large-scale war episodes and action sequences with global standards.

Joining Rishab Shetty in the cast are Shefali Shah as Rajmata Jijabai, Arjun Rampal in a pivotal antagonist role, and Vivek Oberoi portraying Aurangzeb. The film will primarily be shot across Maharashtra, reflecting the historical landscape where the Maratha empire was forged. According to reports, Shetty will commence filming after wrapping up his current project, Jai Hanuman.

The decision to collaborate with Hollywood talent has sparked a buzz on social media, with fans eager to witness the grandeur promised by the team. As production gears up, all eyes are on how this ambitious vision will unfold on the big screen.
