Sandeep Ssingh additionally expressed his happiness in having Zanai in his movie.

He mentioned, “l feel so honoured and absolutely privileged to be launching Zanai who is a descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s family lineage and also shares her lineage with extremely brilliant and accomplished family, with the late Lata Mangeshkarji being her aunt and being Asha Bhosaleji’s granddaughter. She is a proud Bhosle, who has already been gifted with a soulful voice and has an ear for music. But few know what a talented dancer and a skillful performer she is. She will do full justice to the character of Rani Sai Bai.”

He added, “As Shivaji Maharaj’s wife, Rani Sai Bai had contributed immensely to his growth as a king and a human being.”

The Pride of Bharat – Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is being made on a large scale and will likely be launched on February 19, 2026, which is Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Jayanti.
