Akshay Kumar's first look gets trolled by netizens as the great Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in his first Marathi movie “Vedat Marathe Veer Daudale Saat”. People on the Internet are surprised that Akshay used the same short-cut method and put on the costume of a different person without changing much in his appearance.

The historical film, directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, tells the narrative of seven brave soldiers. Manjrekar had previously informed earlier in conversation that the movie is a heroic narrative that needs to be conveyed throughout India in a big manner. He stated “We needed a pan-India actor for that, and Akshay could easily play such a role. So he was the natural option for me".

Taran Adarsh, a trade analyst, gave the first glimpse of the movie with a 22-second video of Akshay dressed as Shivaji walking into the frame. The video is accompanied by a thrilling Jai Bhavani track.


Netizens wasted no time in blasting the first look of the film as soon as it was made public. For the legendary role, Akshay has been called a "misfit". A user made fun of the actor and said "Itna jaldi daadhi muchh aa gya? 40 din ki mehnat hogi”. Several people on the Internet also said that Sharad Kelkar would have been the best choice for the part.

While Akshay Kumar's role as King Prithviraj Chauhan in the movie Samrat Prithviraj was also criticized. The movie didn't get good reviews, and it didn't do well at the box office. The movie is all set to release in theaters on Diwali 2023.
