Turns out the speculations were true after all since Laxman Utekar directed Chhaava has now been pushed to 2025 and a new release date has been locked. The film is now slated to hit the theatres on February 14, averting a big battle at the ticket windows, since Pushpa 2: The Rule is all set for a pan-India release on December 5, 2024. Chhaava‘s new release date bears a special importance since it precedes Chhatrapati Shivani Maharaj Jayanti that falls on February 19.
