Jitendra Awhad slams Akshay Kumar’s first look as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj; says, ‘It seems that Maharashtra is being driven mad’ – Times of India

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is all set to make his Marathi debut with Mahesh Manjrekar’s historical epic ‘Vedat Marathe Veer Daudale Saat’. In the film, the ‘Ram Setu’ star will be essaying the iconic role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

On Tuesday, Kumar took to his Instagram handle to release the first look from Mahesh Majerekar’s directorial film. As soon as the picture went on the internet, people started trolling for its light bulbs installed throughout its rim.

Now, the politician Jitendra Awhad took to his Twitter handle and wrote, “These are Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj portraits in museums in Germany, Paris, America. From that, we generally get an idea of Shivaji Maharaj. The movie is coming… ‘Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat’. Seeing Shivaji Maharaj in it, it seems that Maharashtra is being driven “mad”.
