Vicky Kaushal’s historical epic Chhaava has sparked controversy ahead of its Telugu release, with concerns being raised over its depiction of historical events. Mohammed Zia-ul-Haq, President of the Muslim Federation of Andhra Pradesh, along with other members, recently met the Nellore District Collector to file a complaint, alleging that the film distorts history. The growing opposition has intensified debates surrounding the movie.
With these developments, the Telugu release of Chhaava, particularly in Andhra Pradesh, has become uncertain. If the government intervenes to halt its screening, it could lead to a significant turning point, leaving audiences and industry insiders eager to see how the situation unfolds.
The film’s Telugu distribution is being handled by Geetha Film Distributors, and its box office prospects will be closely monitored if it manages to release without obstacles. A.R. Rahman has composed the music for this grand historical epic, which is on track to join the Rs. 500 crore club.
