Even after a long time their release some films continue to receive appreciation. It could be for winning awards or receiving appreciation from recognised institutions. Historical film ‘Fatteshikast’ made by Digpal Lanjekar which was released last year is one of them. After achieving success at ticket windows, this film has now created a new history.

‘Fateshikast’ has now been included in the archives of Maratha Light Infantry on the recommendation of their Regiment. It may be recalled that when the film was released in theatres in November 2019, it was seen by four thousand army cadets who were undergoing training at Belgaum along with their army officers . They highly appreciated the inspiring subject of this film, especially the planning and strategies of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj in fighting the difficult looking battles those days. This is the biggest honour received by a Marathi film.

The film had presented Chinmay Mandlekar in the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj with Mrunal Kulkarni playing his mother Jijamata.
