Chhaava is now eyeing to overtake the lifetime collection of Uri: The Surgical Strike to become the highest-grossing film in Vicky Kaushal's career. In fact, Chhaava is just Rs 2 crore short of Uri's total collection. Given the trend, the Laxman Utekar-helmed period drama would register the collection with just a few morning shows.

Chhaava has been reportedly made with a budget of Rs 130 crore and, needless to say, the film has become a superhit. Director Laxman Utekar's Chhaava features Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. It also stars Rashmika Mandanna as Maharani Yesubai Bhonsale. Akshaye Khanna plays Aurangzeb in the film, which has been produced by Dinesh Vijan.
