- Riteish Deshmukh gets emotional at Raja Shivaji trailer launch.
- He calls Genelia his ‘rock’ in a tearful speech.
- The film looks like a visual masterpiece.
We just saw the most touching video from Mumbai today. Riteish Deshmukh stood on stage at the trailer launch of his dream project, Raja Shivaji. He started talking about his wife, Genelia. Then, the tears started flowing. It was so raw. Real.
Riteish called Genelia his ‘rock.’ He said he couldn’t have made this historical epic without her support. We love seeing a husband give credit where it is due. While he is celebrating this win, Akshay Kumar is also having a great week. His film Bhoot Bangla just crossed the 100 crore mark at the box office!
As art lovers, we have to talk about the ‘vibe’ of this trailer. The visual style is breathtaking. The screen is filled with deep oranges and earthy browns. It captures the rugged aesthetic of the Maratha empire perfectly. It looks expensive. It looks like a painting come to life.
This sweet moment is exactly what we needed today. Especially after hearing the sad news that Haylie Duff and her fiancé broke up after ten years. It makes us appreciate Riteish and Genelia even more. They are truly the gold standard for couples in the industry.
If you love nostalgia as much as we do, there is more good news. Anne Hathaway is working hard on The Princess Diaries 3! Between historical epics and royal sequels, we are booked and busy. But for now, we are just rewatching Riteish’s speech and grabbing some tissues.
Our Take
Honestly? We think Raja Shivaji is going to be massive. You can feel the passion in Riteish’s voice. When an artist cares this much, the work usually shows it. The colors and the scale look top-tier. We are rooting for them!
