According to the announcement clip, Chinmay Mandlekar-starrer Sher Shivraj will release on April 22, 2022.
Shivraj Ashtak is an eight-part film series on the heroism of the Hindavi Swarajya and the legendary Mavalas. Farzand (2018) was the first, Fatteshikast (2019) was the second, Pawankhind (2022) was the third, and currently, Sher Shivraj is the fourth in the series.
The film is based on the life of the Maratha King Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, where he defeated Afzal Khan, a general of Bijapur’s Adil Shah Sultante.
Afzal Khan advanced into the Konkan and requested a face-to-face meeting with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. However, Shivaji Maharaj, sensing Khan’s potential treachery, attended the meeting prepared, wearing chainmail beneath his attire and concealing a wagh nakh (a sharp iron-made weapon shaped like tiger claws) in his sleeve. In the meeting, Khan attempted to stab Shivaji Maharaj. The Maratha king killed Afzal Khan using wagh nakh.
Chinmay Mandlekar will play the role of Shivaji Maharaj. The film star cast also features Mrinal Kulkarni, Mukesh Rishi and Varsha Usgaonkar.
Nitin Keni, Chinmay Mandlekar, Digpal Lanjekar, Pradyot Pendharkar, Anil Warkhade and Naveen Chandra bankrolled the film.
The film will be released next month. According to reports, the filming of Sher Shivraj was completed before Pawankhind.
