The trailer of the much-awaited Pawankhind, the third of eight films to be directed by Digpal Lanjekar on Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and his army, is out The preceding films in the series were Farzand and Fatteshikast.
The film’s epic scale had been hinted at in previous previews and posters, but the new three-and-a-half-minute trailer, packed with action and dramatic beats, gives you a very clear indication of what to expect of the project.
While Ajay Purkar portrays the ferocious Bajiprabhu Deshpande, Sameer Dharmadikari plays the antagonist, General Siddi Jauhar.
The three-minute-and-twenty-second trailer features some great visuals, background music, and action scenes, and it appears that the movie has a lot to offer.
The trailer takes us back to how Adilshahi general Siddi Jauhar’s soldiers besieged Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj (Chinmay Mandlekar) at Panhala fort for months (Sameer Dharmadhikari). After several failed attempts to breach the siege by Maratha chief Netaji Palkar, Shivaji and a few of his warriors devised a daring strategy to be carried out at night.
As it depicts different fighting scenes between Maratha soldiers and the Adilshahi army, the trailer contains a lot of blood and gore.
Chinmay Mandlekar, Mrinal Kulkarni, Ajay Purkar, Sameer Dharmadhikari, Ankit Mohan, Prajakta Mali, and Kshitee Jog appear in the film, which is based on the life of Maratha warrior Baji Prabhu Deshpande.
