Vicky Kaushal’s historical drama Chhaava, directed by Laxman Utekar, is making waves at the box office. The biopic of Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj has captivated audiences, crossing ₹140 crore within just four days of release.
Amid the film’s soaring success, an unusual fan celebration has taken social media by storm. A devoted fan in Nagpur rode into a theatre on horseback, dressed as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. Accompanied by a group of men playing dhols, he chanted Jai Bhavani slogans as the film’s end credits rolled. The electrifying moment, captured on video, quickly went viral, sparking a wave of reactions online.
Viral Video: Fan Takes Horse Inside Theatre
The video shows the fan proudly seated on a horse, chanting war cries inside the theatre while surrounded by a group of drummers. Other moviegoers joined in, turning the screening into a grand spectacle.
Netizens had a field day reacting to the clip. One X (formerly Twitter) user humorously remarked, “I can’t even take a packet of chips inside, but this guy brought a whole horse!” Another quipped, “Next time, bring the lion that Sambhaji fought too.” Some viewers, however, criticized the act, questioning why historical pride often turns into a spectacle.
