Mumbai, Jan. 27 -- Amid strong objections raised by ruling and opposition members, historians and various organisations, the controversial dance sequence from the film 'Chhaava', which portrays the legendary Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, will now be removed.

The controversial scene evoked angry reactions from various quarters, especially from the Chhatrapati Shivaji's descendent Sambhajiraje Chhatrapati who claimed that Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and Queen Yesubai doing Lezim dance is highly objectionable and it should be dropped.

Another descendant of Chhatrapati Shivaji and BJP MP Udayanraje Bhosale also made the same demand.

Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj is played by Vicky Kaushal and it also stars Rashmika Mandanna...
