Bring home the story of India’s greatest legend
Mumbai, Thanks to the overwhelming response and constant demand of the viewers,Chandrakant Productions Pvt. Ltd (C.P.P.L) has now launched a set of 16 DVD set of the popular TV serial ‘Raja Shivchattrapati.’ This collector’s pack also contains a complimentary DVD on the behind-the-scenes footage during the making of this epic.
The launch of the DVDs was held on June 24, the auspicious day of Jashtha Shuddha Trayodashi (Rajyabhishek Tithi) – a fitting tribute to the glorious chapter in the Indian history.
The history of India is incomplete without the history of Marathas and Shivaji is the centre of that history. Shivaji espoused the ideology of Hindavi swarajya (self-rule of the natives). He established a competent and progressive civil rule with the help of well regulated and disciplined military and well structured administrative organizations. The prevalent practices of treating women as war booty, destruction of religious monuments, slavery and forceful religious conversions were firmly opposed under his administration. His respect for all religions made him a truly great king.
For the past 400 years, this great Maratha warrior has been a source of inspiration and pride to the past generations and will continue to inspire millions in the future.
‘Raja Shivchattrapati’, a TV serial on the life of this legend was aired on Star Pravah channel and got record rating from viewers. Talking on the launch, Mr Nitin Chandrakant Desai, Managing Director, C.P.P.L said, “We were blessed with the golden opportunity to make this epic and it was a huge privilege. We continue to live by abiding to Maharaj’s core values as he has laid strong emphasis on culture, which is an integral part of every individual’s life. The desire for the launch of the DVD shows our love for this Jaanata Raja. And we are not going to stop here. In our effort to take Shivaji’s values and culture globally, we are proud to announce a big International movie on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj for global audience. This movie will have International cast and crew.”
The launch was held in the full Maratha glory – women in traditional sarees, a tutari welcome, which stirred everyone in the audience. The venue had replicated the Shivaji Maharaj’s era – showcasing decorated palkhi and floral welcome with tilak.. Along with the serial’s cast and crew, eminent citizens like Raj Thackeray, Shri BabaSaheb Purandare, Shri Sambhaji Raje Bhosale, Sunil Tatkare, Madhur Bhandarkar, Rajkumar Hirani, Ashutosh Gowarikar, to name few, were present to support the venture.
