Vicky Kaushal’s historical epic Chhaava has landed in controversy ahead of its Telugu release, raising concerns over its portrayal of events. The President of the Muslim Federation of Andhra Pradesh, Mohammed Zia-ul-Haq, along with other members, met the Nellore District Collector and lodged a complaint, alleging that the movie has misrepresented historical facts. They claimed that the film distorts history, leading to growing opposition.
With this, the movie’s release in Telugu, especially in Andhra Pradesh, has become uncertain, and suspense continues over its fate. If the government takes a stand to stall its screening, it will be a sensational development, and it remains to be seen how the situation unfolds.
Geetha Film Distributors is handling the Telugu release of the film. If the release proceeds without hurdles, its performance at the box office will be closely watched. A.R. Rahman has composed the music for this historical epic, which is on the verge of joining the Rs. 500 crore club.
