Tanhaji Malusare was known for his bravery. He was Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj’s close friend and trusted lieutenant. And, like many brave warriors, Tanhaji’s strength came from his wife, Savitri. She supported her husband at home and in his freedom movement. BT presents Kajol’s look as Savitri Malusare in the highly-anticipated visual extravaganza, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior (3D & 2D).

Talking about her character, director Om Raut says, “Savitribai Malusare is a very important character. She is a strong woman who stands behind her warrior husband. She is loving, homely, motherly, and is also Tanhaji’s strong support system in every aspect of his life. While he fights the war on the battlefield, Savitri manages the fort at home. We wanted an actor who could pull off the multi-faceted character effortlessly. When we narrated the part to Kajol ji, she liked it a lot. She has enacted the part beautifully, and it’s a treat to watch her on-screen.”

Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, produced by Ajay Devgn and Bhushan Kumar, releases on January 10, 2020.
