The cinematic tribute to one of India’s greatest warrior kings just got louder and more powerful. The makers of Raja Shivaji – Chhatrapati have officially dropped the much-awaited anthem, setting the tone for what promises to be an epic historical spectacle. Backed by Jio Studios and Mumbai Film Company, the film is all set for a worldwide theatrical release on 1 May 2026, aligning with the spirit of Maharashtra Day.
Titled Raja Shivaji Anthem, the song is a stirring tribute to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, capturing the essence of his courage, vision, and legacy. Sung by Ajay Gogavale, the track blends powerful vocals with grand orchestration, creating an emotional yet electrifying listening experience. The visuals, choreographed by Remo D'Souza, elevate the anthem further with high-energy sequences that match the scale of the story.
The music of the film has been composed by the iconic duo Ajay Atul, known for delivering soul-stirring and larger-than-life soundtracks. Their work here reflects the spirit of Hindavi Swarajya, bringing together emotion, pride, and historical grandeur. With music playing a crucial role in storytelling, the album is already shaping up to be one of the film’s biggest strengths.
Directed by Riteish Deshmukh, who also essays the titular role, the film dives deep into the life and legacy of Shivaji Maharaj. The project boasts an impressive ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt as Afzal Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Genelia Deshmukh as Saibai, Bhagyashree as Jijabai, along with Vidya Balan, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Boman Irani, Fardeen Khan, Jitendra Joshi, and Amole Gupte.
Visually mounted on a grand scale, the film’s cinematography is handled by Santosh Sivan, ensuring a rich and immersive historical experience. With its multi-language release in Marathi, Hindi, and Telugu, Raja Shivaji – Chhatrapati aims to reach audiences across the country and beyond.
With the anthem already striking a chord, anticipation for the film is steadily building. If the song is any indication, audiences can expect a powerful blend of history, emotion, and cinematic spectacle when the film hits theatres this May.
