Reason behind postponement
The makers of Chhava have not yet confirmed the postponement of the historical drama film. But if the reports are to be believed, the reason behind this pushback is being considered the clash with the highly-anticipated Telugu film, Pushpa 2. Looking at the immense hype and anticipation for the South film, it was clearly evident that the business of Chhava was bound to face a serious dent at the box office.
The second possible reason for this postponement could also be to release Chhava on the occasion of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti, since the film holds a special significance to the iconic figure. The film is based on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's son, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.
