Rajit Kapoor to Play Aurangzeb in Marathi film ‘Chhatrapati Sambhaji’
Actor Rajit Kapoor who became popular with his title role in equally popular TV serial ‘Byomkesh Bakshi’ will now be seen playing the role of the most hated Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in forthcoming Marathi film ‘Chhatrapati Sambhaji (छत्रपती संभाजी )’. This film is produced and directed by Rakesh Subesinh Dulgaj. Besides Marathi, this film will also be released simultaneously on 2nd February 2024 in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
According to the director, Aurangazeb was a cruel ruler but at the same time he was ambitious. Therefore, we were in search of a versatile actor and we felt that Rajit Kapoor would do justice to this role. Rajit Kapoor while reacting on his role said that till now he has performed variety of roles; but through this film he had an opportunity to play a negative character. Along with Rajit Kapoor the film also stars Pramod Pawar, Shashank Udapurkar, Dilip Tahil, Mrunal Kulkarni, Mohan Joshi, Bharat Dabholkar, Lokesh Gupte, Bal Dhuri, Deepak Shirke, Amit Deshmukh, Late Anand Abhyankar, Samir, Mohini Potdar, Priya Gamre in prominent roles.
