New Delhi, April 10: Vicky Kaushal’s blockbuster historical drama Chhaava, which has already made a significant impact in theaters, is now set for its digital debut on Netflix. Directed by Laxman Utekar and produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner, Chhaava tells the inspiring story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. The film was released on February 14, quickly gaining traction at the box office. Netflix recently announced the digital release with a poster and caption: "Aale Raje aale.
