Will Chhava make it to the 400-crore mark?
Until a few days ago, fans anticipated seeing Chhaava earn 400 crores. But the recent allegations about the inaccuracies left them wondering if 400 crores is possible. Descendants of the Shirke family threatened a 100 crore lawsuit and street protests if director Lakshman Utekar didn’t rectify the mistakes in the film. The director hasn’t confirmed his plans to remake parts of the film but has apologized to the family. He stated that he didn’t mean to be offensive and that the movie doesn’t mention a surname.
