Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has lauded her 'Raazi' co-actor Vicky Kaushal for his performance in recently-released Hindi film Chhaava, which is based on the 17th century Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.

In an Instagram story, Alia said, "Vicky Kaushal! What are you????? Cannot get over your performance in Chhaava!"

Chhaava, where Vicky played Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, has maintained a steady run in the box office since its release on February 14.

The film has collected Rs. 171.28 crore so far in the box office.

The film is so far the biggest Hindi opener in 2025 and also Vicky's best opener in his entire career.

The previous biggest Hindi opener in 2025 was Akshay Kumar starrer Sky Force which earned Rs. 15.3 crore.

Speaking about working on the film where he portrayed the Maratha ruler, Vicky earlier said, " I feel so blessed to have got such a role. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where one literally gets to play a God. I come from Maharashtra where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj are not viewed just as warriors but as God."

"When I was offered the film, I was scared initially because I am aware of the sentiments associated with Chatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. But the team took a lot of effort for about four years to bring this film out as authentically, unapologetically and as grandly as possible," the actor added.

Directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava co-stars Rashmika Mandanna in the lead.
