The movie was slated for release near the end of December but the release has now been shifted to 10th January. The film is about the Maratha general; about whom Shivaji famously said: "gadh alaa pan sinh gelaa" (we've conquered the fort but lost our lion).

100th movie of Ajay Devgn

Devgn plays the title role in what will be his one hundredth cinematic outing. Wife Kajol, who has a guest appearance in the film, tweeted this.

Good wishes poured in

There were good wishes from the film fraternity on the occasion of Devgn’s one hundredth film.

Saif Ali Khan plays Udaybhan Rathod

History tells us that Rajput warrior Udaybhan Rathod was a significant character in the Battle of Sinhgadh of 1670. Udaybhan Rathod was the fort keeper of the Sinhgadh fort under Mughal Army Chief Jai Singh.

Many liked the poster

Fans of Saif Ali Khan were impressed with the poster and with his look in the film.

‘Villain things’

Some of the tweeple noticed the similarity between Khan’s look in the film and the look of many other antagonists in recent period films.

The tweeple noticed this

They felt that there was close resemblance between Jon Snow’s image from GoT and Khan’s poster; that the movie poster was something of a poor imitation.

Should have changed it a bit

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery said another tweet.

Inner Jon Snow

Or King Arthur of legend.

Also this

This was perhaps the ‘inspiration’ thought some of the tweeple.

Or this?

So Khan looks basically like any guy in a period drama with a sword, according to the tweeple.

“Tanhaji knocks in 6 days”

According to reports, the trailer of Ajay Devgn's period drama will be launched 19 November 2019. Fans of Devgn and Saif Ali Khan have their eyes peeled.
