These stories have been a part of my childhood, and they always fill me with pride. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s legacy is not just limited to Maharashtra, but resonates with the whole of India,” she said. Tamhankar also thanked Disney+ Hotstar for giving her the opportunity to be part of the project and expressed her excitement for the show’s upcoming release.
