Given how volatile and sensitive the sensibilities of the audiences can be, filmmakers and actors have to be immensely careful in how to project their characters, particularly when they are acting in films based on real-life warriors. The same holds true for Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan's Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, whose trailer dropped on November 19 with much aplomb.
In this grand historical saga, Sharad Kelkar essays the character of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, one of the greatest warriors in Indian history. When a reporter asked him about essaying the role of Shivaji Maharaj, he was quick to correct the lady, "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj." His response couldn't stop the people sitting in the auditorium to break into an applause.
