Earlier on Tuesday, Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra reportedly expressed his disapproval of the film's depiction of the gods. Mishra claimed that "the teaser contains some offensive scenes. Such scenes offend religious sentiments."
The film is produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Om Raut, Prasad Sutar and Rajesh Nair, and is currently in pre-production stage.
The film's politics has been debated for projecting the idea of an independent India, Swaraj, as early as the 17th century; a historical claim that has been analyzed in detail.
Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone starrer Chhapaak benefitted from the Makar Sankranti holiday.
Loosely based on the historical life of Tanaji Malussare and the Battle of Sinhagad (1670), Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior is a brave attempt to fictionalise popular regional folklore to create something entertaining.
I take up only those characters which I like. It is very important for me to like the character before playing it on the screen.
Tanhaji's trailer also invests in a kind of action sequences not seen before in period films produced by Bollywood.
The film also stars his wife and actor Kajol and actor Saif Ali Khan.
Ajay Devgn will portray the role of Subhedar Tanaji Malusare and Saif Ali Khan will be seen as Udaybhan Rathod.
