The journey of Raja Shivaji is taking a powerful new turn. After making its mark in cinemas and creating buzz online, the teaser of the much-awaited film will now reach households across India through national television. In a strategic and emotional move, the makers have chosen Bigg Boss Marathi as the platform for its television premiere, bringing the story of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj closer to the masses.
The teaser is set to air tonight at 8 PM on Colors Marathi, with a simultaneous digital stream on JioHotstar. This dual release ensures that viewers, whether on television or online, can witness the moment together. With Riteish Vilasrao Deshmukh hosting the show, the episode already carries strong viewer appeal, now elevated further by the presence of this grand historical film.
Directed by Riteish Deshmukh himself, who also plays the central role, Raja Shivaji is not just another period drama. It attempts to present Shivaji Maharaj as a living legacy, not confined to textbooks but alive in modern consciousness. The film focuses on both the defining milestones of his life and the deeper ideals that shaped his vision.
Shot extensively across Maharashtra, the film reflects a commitment to authenticity and scale. The storytelling goes beyond battles and victories, exploring the human side of a leader whose courage and values continue to inspire generations. For many viewers, the teaser offers a first visual connection to a story they have grown up hearing, now reimagined on a grand cinematic canvas.
What further strengthens the film is its technical brilliance. Music is composed by the celebrated duo Ajay–Atul, known for their emotionally charged soundtracks. Cinematography is handled by Santosh Sivan, whose international acclaim adds a global visual standard to the project. Together, they promise a rich blend of scale and emotion.
The film also boasts an impressive ensemble cast. Alongside Riteish Deshmukh, it features Sanjay Dutt, Abhishek Bachchan, Vidya Balan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Boman Irani, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Jitendra Joshi, and Amol Gupte. Genelia Deshmukh, who also serves as producer, plays a key role in shaping the film’s vision.
Backed by Jio Studios and produced under the Mumbai Film Company banner, Raja Shivaji is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on May 1, 2026, in Marathi, Hindi, and Telugu.
With its television debut on a popular reality show, the film’s teaser is set to reach millions in a single evening. It is not just a promotional move but a cultural moment, bringing a timeless story into the heart of everyday viewing.
