Produced by Maddock Films, Chhaava also features Ashutosh Rana as Sarsenapati Hambirao Mohite, Divya Dutta as Soyarabai, and Diana Penty as Zinat-un-Nissa Begum, Aurangzeb's daughter.
Made under the direction of Laxman Utekar, the drama is a cinematic adaptation of the Marathi novel Chhava by Shivaji Sawant. The tunes for the movie have been scored by the music maestro, A. R. Rahman. It briefly courted controversy for its lezim sequence which was eventually removed by the makers following protests.
