The Uttar Pradesh government recently declared the film tax-free in the state. The announcement was made by the official Twitter account of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's office. The tweet thread further stated the tax-free status will encourage more people to watch the inspirational story of Chhatrapati Shivaji’s commander. Devgn plays Maratha warrior Subedar Tanaji Malusare in the Om Raut directorial, which charts the heroic character’s journey through the Battle of Sinhagad in 1670 AD. Tanhaji sees Kajol reunite with Devgn on screen 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. In an interview with  Firstpost , Kajol spoke about working with Devgn once again. “We have done many films together so it wasn’t something very different working with him now. But it was very comfortable and very convenient because we used to travel to work at the same time and go carpooling. It felt like home,” she said. She added it was good to have him as a co-actor because he always gave useful advice and input.
