The excitement surrounding ‘Chhaava’, a historical drama featuring Vicky Kaushal, Akshaye Khanna, and Rashmika Mandanna, has just intensified with the release of a gripping new poster. Following Rashmika Mandanna’s stunning first look as Maharani Yesubai, look of Akshaye Khanna as the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb is not out, and it’s nothing short of captivating.
In the latest poster shared by Maddock Films on Instagram, Akshaye Khanna appears almost unrecognizable as he channels the ruthless intensity of Aurangzeb. His long hair, partially obscuring his face, adds to the menacing presence of the character, while the Mughal crown completes his commanding look.

The caption accompanying the image, “Darr aur dehshat ka naya chehra” (The new face of fear and terror), perfectly encapsulates the ominous aura of Khanna’s portrayal.
