- TriviaVicky Kaushal improvised the specific phrasing of the war cry during the speech scene preceding Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's final assault on Aurangzeb. The original script specified the traditional chants of "Jai Bhavani" and "Har Har Mahadev." During the take, Kaushal added the invocation "Om Namah Parvati Pataye Har Har Mahadev" to the sequence. Director Laxman Utekar chose to retain this delivery in the final cut, citing the raw and spontaneous energy it brought to the performance. This addition reflects the historical and spiritual context of the Maratha warriors' devotion to Lord Shiva.
- GoofsThe prayer callus (prostration mark or zabiba) on the forehead of Aurangzeb fluctuates in appearance during several sequences. This mark exhibits noticeable inconsistencies in its dimensions, darker pigmentation levels, and exact positioning between scenes set within the same chronological period of the narrative.
- Quotes
- Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj: Aurangzeb; the Swaraj you want to finish, is not any Sultanate; it is the Vision of Freedom of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, you can never destroy it!
- Alternate versionsThe film was passed with a UA certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). However, the film had to go through certain modifications. The dialogue 'Mughal sultanat ka zehar' (The venom of the Mughal Empire) was replaced with 'Uss samay, kayi shaasak aur sultanat khud ko zinda rakhne ki koshish kar rahe the' (In those dark times, countless rulers and kingdoms fought for survival). Another dialogue 'Khoon toh aakhir Mughalon ka hi hai' (The blood is of the Mughals after all) was changed to 'Khoon toh hai Aurang ka hi' (The blood is of Aurang after all). The words 'haramzaadon' and 'haramzaada' were muted while 'Aameen' was replaced with 'Jai Bhavani'. A certain dialogue in the first half was replaced while a scene showing Maratha warriors clad in a saree was also removed. Further, '16 saal' (16 years) was replaced with '14 saal' (14 years), '22 saal ka ladka' (22-year old boy) was replaced with '24 saal ka ladka' (24-year old boy) while '9 saal' (9 years) was modified to 'kayi saal' (many years). Lastly, the CBFC members asked the makers to insert an audio-text disclaimer stating the name of the book from which the film is adapted and that it doesn't intend to defame anybody or distort historical facts.
