Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is remembered not only for his unmatched bravery and leadership, but also for his sharp intellect, exceptional strategic vision, and progressive ideology. With extraordinary planning skills, he defeated several powerful enemies, and even a formidable ruler like Aurangzeb fell short against Maharaj’s intelligence and foresight.
The historic visit of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj to Agra was one of the most risky and challenging episodes of his life. Yet, it revealed the true strength of his leadership, courage, and presence of mind. This remarkable chapter of history was brought alive once again during the grand trailer launch event of the upcoming film ‘Ranpati Shivray Swari Agra’.

The trailer launch ceremony was enriched with Shiv Vandana and powerful traditional powada performances by Shivshahirs, creating an atmosphere filled with pride and devotion. As the Marathi film industry continues to expand its reach, innovative approaches to film promotion and marketing are also evolving rapidly.
As part of the film’s promotion, history now meets technology. Through AI-based chatbots, legendary historical characters will interact directly with audiences. During the trailer launch, an AI chatbot based on the character of Bahirji Naik, famously known as the “Third Eye” of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, was unveiled. This initiative is a matter of pride not only for Marathi cinema but also for Shiv devotees across the globe. The chatbot is capable of answering users’ questions in multiple languages within seconds.
Surrounded by Aurangzeb’s treachery, strict security, and an atmosphere of despair, Maharaj’s Agra visit was an extremely dangerous mission. How Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, with his sharp judgment of people, political wisdom, and visionary leadership, managed this crisis and successfully completed the mission is powerfully depicted in the film’s trailer.
Produced by Panorama Studios and Mugafi, and written and directed by Digpal Lanjekar, ‘Ranpati Shivray Swari Agra’ is set to release in theatres on 30th January.
Expressing his thoughts, writer-director Digpal Lanjekar said,
“This film portrays the multi-dimensional leadership, discipline, and valor of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. It will serve as a strong source of inspiration for the younger generation. We have attempted to unfold one of the most glorious chapters of Shivaji Maharaj’s life, and the audience will surely recognize the effort behind it.”
The producers also expressed confidence that the film will successfully draw audiences to theatres. During the event, the cast shared their experiences and insights into their respective roles.
Panorama Studios will handle the worldwide distribution of the film
