Riteish Deshmukh Faces Flak After The Release of Raja Shivajis Trailer

Helmed, written and produced by Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh, Raja Shivaji is one of the most talked about films right now. This film is an upcoming Indian historical action drama, based on the life of Shivaji, the founder of Maratha Empire, and encapsulates the legacy of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

The actor, Riteish Deshmukh has been active in the film industry for almost 25 years now. He also has a huge fanbase of Marathi and Hindi cinema. Moreover, in his entire career he has not once delivered a single flop Marathi film. And, hence, recently with his upcoming film Raja Shivaji, the actor is executing his dream historical spectacle.

However, after watching the trailer, one of the users shared a clip from the promo and tweeted,”The trailer of Riteish Deshmukh’s film shows Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj openly displaying the Wagh Nakh to Afzal Khan before the attack.
It is historical fact that “Wagh Nakh” was concealed and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj used it only after attack by Afzal.
Another user wrote, “WHY IS @RITEISHD MANIPULATING & INSULTING CHHATRAPATI SHIVAJI MAHARAJ’S & MAHARASHTRA’S HISTORY, LEGACY & PRIDE ???”  Soon after this tweet, the actor responded to the X user, re-tweeting their criticism and wrote,“Respected Sir, pls do watch the film on 1st May.. the answer to your question is there in the movie. I hope you enjoy the film with your friends and family. Jai Shivrai (folded hands emoji).”

Sonu Nigam Urges Fans to Celebrate Asha Bhosleâs Life Not Mourn Her Loss

Themusic world is going through a deeply emotional moment after the passing of legendary singer Asha Bhosle on April 12, 2026. As tributes continue to pour in from across the globe, singer Sonu Nigam also shared a heartfelt message, reflecting on her life and legacy rather than just the loss.

In a video that has been widely shared, Sonu urged fans to shift their perspective from grief to celebration. While he admitted that her passing has left him saddened, he emphasised that her journey was full, inspiring, and worth celebrating.

He pointed out that Asha Bhosle remained active and passionate about her work till the very end, something every artist aspires to achieve. He also fondly remembered her as a strict yet fair mentor, calling her his guru and acknowledging the strong influence she had on shaping his early years in music.

He remembered how she would later bring it up with warmth, making it a special and lasting memory for him.
