Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna Unveil ‘Jaane Tu’ From Chhaava
The much-awaited historical epic Chhaava is set to bring an unforgettable musical experience with its first song, Jaane Tu. Composed by Academy Award-winning maestro A.R. Rahman and voiced by the inimitable Arijit Singh, the song beautifully encapsulates the eternal love story of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Maharani Yesubai, portrayed by Vicky Kaushal and Rashmika Mandanna.

Produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and directed by Laxman Utekar, Chhaava promises to present a never-seen-before cinematic retelling of an iconic historical figure. The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on 14th February.

The song launch event, held in Hyderabad, was a grand affair with the film’s lead actors engaging with fans and the media. Following the overwhelming response to its teaser, the full version of Jaane Tu is expected to resonate deeply with audiences. Rahman’s signature brilliance, combined with Irshad Kamil’s poetic lyrics and Arijit Singh’s soul-stirring vocals, makes the track a powerful tribute to love that withstands all odds.


Arijit Singh describes his experience with the song, saying,"Jaane Tu is divine and sincere. The melody hits right in the centre. I feel blessed that Rahman sir has given me the opportunity. I am grateful. I feel his music transcends time, and I feel lucky to experience his music. Singing this song, I felt pure and passionate."

Director Laxman Utekar highlights the depth of this collaboration, stating, "A.R. Rahman and Arijit Singh’s collaborations have always been more than chartbusters – they’re emotional touchstones for listeners. Jaane Tu promises to be one of those classics—an anthem of love that has been through unimaginable odds. This song is a tribute to the kind of love that moves mountains and stands the test of time. Rahman sir’s music has the rare ability to take you to another plane, and Arijit’s voice grounds that journey in human emotion. Both Rahman Sir and Arijit Singh, along with Irshad Kamil’s lyrics, elevated the narrative, conveying the pulse of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Maharani Yesubai’s love and sacrifices to be together.”

Lyricist Irshad Kamil adds, "With Jaane Tu, we wanted to capture a feeling that transcends time—a love so pure, so effortless, that it feels eternal. Collaborating with A.R. Rahman is always special as he weaves in emotional depth with his music that turned the lyrics into something more than just words—into a timeless memory, one that would connect with listeners long after they hear it.”

Chhaava brings together a powerhouse cast led by Vicky Kaushal as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, embodying the warrior’s unmatched courage and indomitable spirit. Opposing him is Akshaye Khanna as the formidable Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, setting the stage for an epic historical clash. Rashmika Mandanna’s portrayal of Maharani Yesubai Bhonsale adds both grace and strength to the narrative, making her a pivotal force in this grand saga.

The music for the film is presented by Sony Music Entertainment India.
