Amit Trivedi Takes the Helm as Composer for Rishab Shetty’s The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

The makers of the highly anticipated film The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj have announced a significant change in their creative lineup. National Award-winning composer Amit Trivedi will now be responsible for the film’s music. This decision comes in light of composer Pritam’s recent announcement regarding his break from mainstream cinema, prompting the production team to seek a new musical direction.

Amit Trivedi Joins the Project

Directed by Sandeep Singh, this two-part historical saga features Rishab Shetty in the titular role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. With Amit Trivedi stepping in, lyricist Prasoon Joshi, who has been involved with the film since its inception, will continue to pen the songs. Sources close to the production revealed that the decision to bring Trivedi on board was made after Pritam’s departure from the project.

This film marks a milestone for Trivedi, as it will be his first Hindi historical feature centered on the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. A source stated, “The team firmly believes Amit Trivedi is the perfect creative force to bring this epic to life musically. His ability to blend powerful orchestration with deeply rooted Indian melodies, combined with Prasoon Joshi’s powerful writing, makes for an exceptional creative partnership.”

Production and Cast Details

The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is being developed as a two-part cinematic project. Alongside Rishab Shetty, the film boasts an ensemble cast that includes Arjun Rampal and Vivek Oberoi. The production is set to begin later this year, with the makers mounting the project on a grand scale.

While specific plot details remain under wraps, the film is expected to explore the life and legacy of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The addition of Amit Trivedi and the continued collaboration with Prasoon Joshi are crucial components of the film’s creative team as they gear up for production.

The announcement of Trivedi’s involvement follows Pritam’s decision to take a break from mainstream films, leading to adjustments in his upcoming projects. With Amit Trivedi now handling the music, The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is poised to move forward with its revised musical team as preparations for filming continue.
