Last week, days before Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s birth anniversary, Sandeep Singh announced his next directorial venture, The Pride of Bharat—Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Through the biopic, he wants to take the story of the famed Maratha warrior king across the country. “People don’t know [enough] about Shivaji, even though they may have heard of him. This kind of historical drama needs a lot of research,” starts the producer-turned-director, who plans to mount the project on a lavish scale and release it in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Marathi.
