Featuring Ajay Devgn as Maratha warrior Subedar Tanaji Malusare, the Om Raut directorial charts the heroic character's journey through the Battle of Sinhagad in 1670 AD.

Saif Ali Khan plays the role of antagonist Udaybhan Singh in the film. In an interview with Mid-Day, Khan spoke about his role, "Udaybhan is insanely wicked. He is like Joker from the Batman movies. He is a great warrior and is smart but he is also unhinged because of the episodes that have happened to him in the past. The idea was to show the character as crazy yet lucid."

Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior sees Kajol reunite with Devgn onscreen after over a decade. She is seen as the Maratha warrior's wife Savitribai. The film also stars Sharad Kelkar, Jagapathi Babu, Devdutta Nage, Pankaj Tripathi, Neha Sharma, Ajinkya Deo, Kailash Waghmare, Hardik Sangani, Luke Kenny, and Vipul G in supporting roles.
