Raja Shivaji first teaser to screen with Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2, Riteish Deshmukh brings Maratha King’s saga to big screen The buzz around Dhurandhar: The Revenge just got a major boost, and this time it comes with a strong emotional and historical pull. Actor-producer Riteish Deshmukh has officially announced that the first glimpse of his ambitious film Raja Shivaji will be showcased alongside the theatrical release of Dhurandhar: The Revenge. Sharing the update on social media, Riteish expressed his deep admiration and reverence for Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, calling the project a tribute to “our king, our pride.” The announcement instantly struck a chord, especially among Marathi audiences, who have long awaited a grand cinematic retelling of Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy. What makes this move interesting is the strategy behind it. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, led by Ranveer Singh and directed by Aditya Dhar, is already positioned as a high-energy, mass entertainer with strong advance buzz. Attaching the Raja Shivaji teaser to such a film ensures massive theatrical visibility right from day one. It’s a smart play that combines scale with sentiment. Riteish’s caption hinted at something larger than just a teaser drop. He described the film as an attempt to bring the story of Shivaji Maharaj in a way audiences have “never seen before.” That line alone sets expectations high. Over the years, several adaptations have tried to capture the life of the Maratha warrior king, but very few have managed to balance authenticity with cinematic grandeur. The film is set for a pan-India release on May 1, 2026, in Marathi, Hindi, and Telugu, signaling a clear intent to take Shivaji Maharaj’s story beyond regional boundaries. Given the growing appetite for historical epics across Indian cinema, Raja Shivaji could tap into a wide audience base if executed well. For now, all eyes are on March 19, when Dhurandhar: The Revenge hits theatres and audiences get their first look at this much-anticipated project. If the teaser delivers even half of what the announcement promises, this could easily become one of the most talked-about reveals of the year.
