The trailer for MX Player’s upcoming original series ‘Chhatrasal’ is out now and it’s all things epic. Helmed by Anadii Chaturdvedi, all episodes of this historical drama will premiere only on MX Player on 29th July.
Set in 1649 India, during the reign of Alamgir Aurangzeb (Ashutosh Rana) the trailer begins with an insight into the gruesome cruelty with which he dealt his subjects especially those who stood up against him.
On the other hand in Bundelkhand, Chhatrasal is born who is named so by his father as he will be the one who protects his people like a shield. Since his childhood Chhatrasal is determined to eradicate the Mughals from his homeland one day and for that he trains hard in warfare.
Aurangzeb wants complete control of his Delhi Sultanate over Bundelkhand and he is ready to slay as many heads as needed to do so. But Chhatrasal (Jitin Gulati) is ready to fight the Mughals and for this he forms alliance with the Marathas under Shivaji. What follows is a glimpse of the grand war between Chhatrasal and Aurangzeb.
‘Chhatrasal’ on MX Player is the first historical epic based on the life of unsung warrior King Chhatrasal of Bundelkhand. Its story goes back to the 16th century when the Mughal empire was expanding under the leadership of tyrant Aurangzeb, who mounted towards Delhi and dethroned his father Shahjahan, declaring himself “Alamgir Aurangzeb”, which means conqueror of the world.
Around the same time in Bundelkhand, it was predicted that a child will be born who would free his people and bring them back to their motherland. That child was Chhatrasal. He was a hero from medieval India who never lost any battle against the Mughals.
‘Chhatrasal’ is the story of an unsung hero and his courage and valour that got lost somewhere amidst all other stories. The magnum opus stars Neena Gupta, Ashutosh Rana (‘Dushman’, ‘Sangharsh’), Jitin Gulati (‘M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story’), Vaibhavi Shandilya, Manish Wadhwa, Anushka Luhar and Rudra Soni in key roles.
The series looks grand and the lead stars Ashutosh Rana and Jitin Gulati shine brightly through the trailer. The battle scenes are magnificent and so is the scale of this MX Original series.
All episodes of ‘Chhatrsal’ will release on MX Player on 29th July, 2021.
