Salman Khan's Role as Raja Shivaji

Jeeva Mahala holds an important place in the annals of Maratha history. He is remembered as the fearless warrior who saved the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj during a fatal attack by Syed Banda, a trusted soldier of Afzal Khan. This act of courage became a legendary symbol of loyalty and bravery.

This historic rescue is said to be re-enacted in a grand and dramatic way in Raja Shivaji. Salman will play Jeeva Mahala, while Sanjay Dutt will portray Afzal Khan, pitting the two stars against each other in an intense and long-anticipated on-screen confrontation.
