I think it cashed in on divisiveness, but I think the core of it is to show bravery. I had asked the director. ‘Why did he need me for this film? But he said that we need only you for this. It is an enjoyable film, but definitely people are smarter than that. Do you think people are going to get influenced by movies? They have something called internal conscience, which knows what the truth is, and what manipulation is," he said in an interview with BBC Asian Network.When asked how Chhaava mentions ‘Subhanallah’ and ‘Alhamdulillah’ when something bad is happening in the film, Rahman said, “That is such a cliche. It is cringe. I have great respect for people. They are not that foolish to get influenced by false information. I have great faith in humanity. People have a conscience, heart, love and compassion."Since then, the comment has been shared heavily on social media. “Chaava is not divisive. It is history. Showing history is not divisive,” read a tweet. About ChhaavaChhaava is based on Shivaji Sawant's Marathi novel of the same name.
