After the successful portrayal of the story of Peshwa Bajirao in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani, another Maratha warrior's tale is all set to hit the screens and entertain the audience.
Titled, Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior, the film will see Ajay Devgn as Subedar Taanaji Malusare, who fought alongside Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj.
Director of the film, Om Raut, shared the first look poster on his Twitter handle, and we must say it is pretty interesting.
In the poster, Ajay Devgn, dressed in a subedar outfit, seems to be in a war zone with a sword in his hands and his face half covered.
His eyes look fierce, while is body language- ready to attack.

Tanaji is the celebrated Maratha warrior who is known for the Battle of Sinhagad in 1670. At Shivaji's request, he pledged to recapture the fortress of Kondana near Pune.
According to legend, he received the summons while at his son's wedding, and immediately left the festivities. The warrior and the battle have been enshrined in Marathi povadas (ballads celebrating military exploits).
Produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series, Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior which also stars Saif Ali Khan, is scheduled to release on November 22, 2019.
