Raja Shivaji Pan-India Film Showcases Vision

One of the biggest cinematic offerings for a pan-India audience and a proud cultural spectacle for the global stage, Raja Shivaji is an ambitious bilingual (Marathi & Hindi) action-drama that brings together formidable creative forces, with music by celebrated duo Ajay–Atul and cinematography by the internationally acclaimed Santosh Sivan, underscoring the scale, ambition and visual grandeur befitting the legacy it seeks to honour.

More than the story of a king, Raja Shivaji chronicles the journey of a son who took an oath and rose against formidable powers to carve the path for Swarajya. It is the tale of a beloved national warrior who chose rebellion over submission and forged the course of India’s resistance movement. With Raja Shivaji, the makers aim to take this powerful Indian story beyond linguistic boundaries and present it as a cinematic tribute mounted on a truly global scale.

Presented by Jio Studios and produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Genelia Deshmukh under the banner of Mumbai Film Company, Raja Shivaji is set to showcase the legendary lore in cinemas worldwide on May 1, 2026.

The legend rises again, and a cinematic roar prepares to echo across India and the world!
