Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat is Akshay's first Marathi film, and third historical film after Kesari (2019) and Samrat Prithviraj (2022). Earlier, in November, Team Veer Daudale Saath unveiled Akshay Kumar's look at an event on Wednesday. The event was graced by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, MNS Chief Raj Thackeray, and Salman Khan.
During the event, the Ram Setu star took centerstage and shared his view on the film. Kumar promised that he will put his maximum effort to justify the king. While interacting in Marathi, Akshay added, "Mr Raj Thackeray told me to this role. I was taken aback. Playing Shivaji Maharaj on screen is a huge task for me. And I promise, jitna mera dum hai, mein iss film mein laga dunga." After launching the first glimpse of Akshay as the Mahraj, Kumar clarified that this is not a final look, and he has to work more to get it perfect. "Maharaj had a sharp nose, and this is just a first look, I have to work more on it."
Vedat Marathe Veer Daudale Saat is directed by Mahesh Manjrekar and Produced by Vaseem Qureshi. Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat is a Qureshi Production presentation and is all set to release in cinemas on Diwali 2023 in Marathi, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
