Chhaava, featuring Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has become one of the biggest hits in recent years.
The case has been filed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Copyright Act, Cinematograph Act, and Information Technology Act, with the South Region Cyber Police, based on the complaint of the CEO of the anti-piracy agency.
The official stated, “Our probe has found that unidentified persons have created 1,818 internet links to circulate the film, thereby violating copyright laws and also impacting its theatrical distribution. Cyber police as begun tracking down IP addresses of these links.”
Chhaava is an Indian Hindi-language historical action film, released on February 14, 2025.
The film is an adaptation of Shivaji Sawant’s Marathi novel of the same name and narrates the story of Sambhaji Maharaj, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire, played by Vicky Kaushal.
Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the banner of Maddock Films, the cast of Chhaava also includes Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna.
Ever since the controversy surrounding Mughal emperor Aurangzeb’s tomb gained traction and violent clashes erupted in Nagpur, Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama Chhaava has seen a slowdown at the box office.
As per the industry tracker Sacnilk.com, Chhaava earned approximately ₹1.67 crore (India net) on its thirty-fifth day across all languages. The film had an overall 8.57 percent Hindi occupancy on Thursday.
