Fans Troll Akshay Kumar After He Unveils First Look As Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj
Akshay Kumar shared his first look as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj from 'Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat', and fans trolled him after witnessing a goof up in the video.
Akshay Kumar announced his new film 'Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat', an upcoming Marathi historical drama movie in which the actor will be essaying the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. However, Akshay’s announcement post which featured his first look as the great warrior wasn’t well received by a section of people, who pointed out a major goof up in the clip. Several users were left unimpressed on Twitter and criticised the “creative liberty” that the director seems to have taken in one of the scenes.
Akshay Kumar first posted a picture of him, sitting on the throne and then a small clip of him walking on the sets of his upcoming Marathi film.
While some people trolled the Bollywood star for his lack of character representation and the absence of Shivaji’s physicality and aura, adding that Sharad Kelkar portrayed the character better in the 2020 Bollywood movie ‘Tanhaji’.
Others trolled the director of the movie, Mahesh Manjrekar, for the creative liberty that he and the crew seem to have taken while designing the set.
One Twitter user wrote, "Our Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj lived between 1630 to 1680. The electric light Bulb came in about 1880 two hundred years later ! This is not even creative liberty- it's just lazy film making & terrible that there is such disregard for facts in a film as important as this one."
Several netizens shared similar reactions to the first look video.
