Earlier, at a press conference, Akshay Kumar had expressed his gratitude towards politician Raj Thackeray for suggesting him to do the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat. He had said, “I am playing the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. I got the role because of Raj Thackeray. He told me, ‘Akshay you should do this role.’ And I was taken aback. It is a huge deal for me to play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It is a huge task and I would like to say I will give my best.”

Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn, who was last seen in Drishyam 2, will next be seen in Bholaa. The actor recently released the film’s teaser and wrote in the caption, “Kaun hai woh… jisko pata hai, woh khud laapata hai.”

Besides playing the lead role, Ajay is also directing the film which also stars Tabu and Amala Paul. The movie is the Hindi remake of Tamil film Kaithi, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. It marks Ajay’s fourth movie as a director after U, Me Aur Hum, Shivaay and Runway 34.
