Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava has not only emerged as a box office blockbuster but also won the hearts of cinegoers across the country. Apart from the lead protagonist, fans also praised Viineet Kumar Siingh’s portrayal of Kavi Kalash, the loyal friend of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and fierce warrior of Swaraj.

In the movie, we see the beautiful bond of friendship between Kavi Kalash and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj . While talking to Firstpost, Viineet said that the sacrifice day of both the warriors should be celebrated as Friendship Day in the country.

“I feel the sacrifice day of Kavi Kalash and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj should be declared as Friendship Day in India or at least in Maharashtra. What should be the biggest example of the bond between Kavi Kalash and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj to celebrate friendship? So, these kinds of stories should reach small kids in the country. I am humbled and lucky that I got the chance to play this role,” said Viineet.

Talking about the poetry scene in the climax, Viineet added, “I and Vicky did many readings for that shot as you can see Kavi Kalash and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj are conversing through poetries and people are not able to understand their conversation. The idea behind this scene was not to give answers to each other through poetry but to put across the thinking of Swaraj and the emotions of friendship and love. It was important to work for us because in the climax it is unusual to see a jugalbandi of poetries. I left all the craft for that scene and prayed to god to give my 100 per cent to that sequence. It is such a big thing and an achievement that in the era of reels and pop, rock and Coldplay people are talking about poetries from Chhaava.”
