Divya Dutta Reacts to Viral Deleted Scene from Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhaava'

Laxman Utekar’s “Chhaava,” starring Vicky Kaushal, Rashmika Mandanna, and Akshaye Khanna, has garnered widespread acclaim for its performances since its release on February 14. Actress Divya Dutta plays a pivotal role in the biopic of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj as Rajmata Soyarabai, the second wife of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.

Recently, a powerful deleted scene from the movie featuring Divya Dutta and Ashutosh Rana surfaced online, capturing the attention of fans and critics alike. The scene, which did not make it to Indian theatre screens, showcases an intense exchange between Rajmata Soyarabai (Divya Dutta), Hambirrao Mohite (Ashutosh Rana), and Ramraje. It takes place after Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj (Vicky Kaushal) meets Aurangzeb’s son, Muhammad Akbar, and uncovers a major conspiracy against him. Hambirrao questions his sister Soyarabai about her motives, reminding her of the sacrifices made to establish the great empire.

Divya Dutta’s performance in this impactful scene has been widely praised. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, the actress expressed her surprise and delight at seeing the scene online. “I’m actually surprised to see the scene online. It was one of my very favourite scenes. But yeah, it happens, not in my hands. But the thing is, the film is getting lots of love and I’m getting lots of love,” she said.

She continued, “To be honest, I would’ve been very happy if the scene was there. But yeah, that’s all. No complaints.” Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, “Chhaava” features a music score and album by AR Rahman. The historical drama recently received a shoutout from Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The scene’s virality has added to the film’s buzz and further highlighted the exceptional performances of the cast. Divya Dutta’s heartfelt reaction and the overwhelming support from fans underscore the movie’s impact and the importance of every scene, even those that don’t make it to the final cut.
