Meanwhile, Sandeep Singh also discussed the process of bringing Zanai on board. “I feel so honoured and absolutely privileged to be launching Zanai Bhosle who is a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s family lineage and also shares her lineage with extremely brilliant and accomplished family, with the late Lata Mangeshkar ji being her aunt and being Asha Bhosle ji’s granddaughter.”

He went on to add, “She is a proud Bhosle, who has already been gifted with a soulful voice and has an ear for music. But few know what a talented dancer and a skillful performer she is. She will do full justice to the character of Rani Sai Bai. As Shivaji Maharaj’s wife, Rani Sai Bai had contributed immensely to his growth as a king and a human being.”

Presented by Immerso Studio and Legend Studios, ‘The Pride of Bharat - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’ is being made on a huge scale. It is slated to hit the silver screens on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, which is February 19, 2026.
