Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji is one of the most anticipated films of the year. While the actor confirmed it will be released in multiple languages, as per CBFC certification, the Hindi version of the film will be 8 minutes shorter than the Marathi version. The decision has been implemented by Riteish Deshmukh, as he wants to keep the narrative crisp while retaining local flavour for a niche audience.
