After making his directorial debut with Safed, filmmaker Sandeep Singh announces his second directorial titled 'The Pride of Bharat - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj,' a biopic of 17th-century Indian ruler Shivaji Bhonsle.
Sharing the motion poster for the movie, Sandeep Singh wrote, “Today, I stand at an important moment in my life as I debut as director for my first mega-budget film, ‘The Pride of Bharat - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.’ As I think about 23 years of struggle, 5 years of dedicated labor, belief and all the life-changing events, this milestone feels both surreal and rewarding.”
“Drawing inspiration from my guru, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, my aspiration to direct a grandeur film inspired me to follow the glorious narrative of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s life, unveiling some surprising stories.”
“While many recognize him as the great Maratha warrior, his intelligence, along with the qualities that truly defined his greatness, often remain unspoken, especially among the youth. I am surprised that there hasn’t been a single hindi film dedicated to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and this void became the force behind my decision to create a cinematic masterpiece that breaks language barriers. ‘The Pride of Bharat’ will showcase the epic saga of the great Maratha ruler in six different languages”
“With this announcement, I believe that ‘You don’t choose your story, your story chooses you’ and today I feel blessed that the majestic legend of Maharaj chose me and my entire team. Join us on this mission to bring the essence of our king’s legacy to a global stage. @ridhimalulla @immerso.official @officiallegendstudios @aseematographer @ganeshhhegde @mrsheetalsharma @sandeepravade @kavishsinha @zafarmehdishaikh @sameerhallim @filmervishal @abhijeetbhalerao_ @me.amarnath @hiteshmodak @esanidey @kpublicity @shimmertalks @vickkyidnaaniphotography @paragmaniar09 @rahulomreniwal @amityeye @ruchikaduttsharma @shadow_of_mani_ #ThePrideofBharat #394thbirthanniversary #ChhatrapatiShivajiMaharaj #heritageofIndia #LegendsofIndia” added Sandeep Singh.
