New Delhi/IBNS: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday praised Vicky Kaushal's historical period drama 'Chhaava' as he highlighted Maharashtra's role in shaping both Marathi and Hindi cinema.

Speaking at the 98th Akhil Bharatiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan in New Delhi, PM Modi said: “Marathi language and literature have opened the doors of social emancipation for the oppressed and deprived sections of society."

The Prime Minister remarked that when speaking of Mumbai, one cannot complete the discussion of literature without mentioning films.

He highlighted that it is Maharashtra and Mumbai that have elevated both Marathi films and Hindi cinema.

He hailed the current popularity of the movie 'Chhava,' which has introduced the valor of Sambhaji Maharaj through Shivaji Sawant's Marathi novel.

"Ye Maharashtra aur Mumbai hi hai jisne Marathi filmon ke saath-saath, Hindi cinema ko ye unchai di hai. Aur in dino toh, Chhaava ki dhoom machi hui hai. (It is Maharashtra and Mumbai which can be credited to have elevated Hindi cinema alongside Marathi films. And these days, the film Chhaava is creating huge waves)," PM Modi said.

PM Modi also mentioned the contributions of great social reformers such as Jyotiba Phule, Savitribai Phule, Maharshi Karve, and Babasaheb Ambedkar, who nurtured new-age thinking in Marathi.

He noted that the Marathi language has given the country rich Dalit literature.

Meanwhile, directed by Laxman Utekar, 'Chaava' has Chhaava has crossed the Rs. 200 crore milestone at the Box Office on Thursday.
