Tanhaji The Unsung Warrior trailer: Ajay Devgn and Saif Battle it Out

Ajay Devgn takes on Saif Ali Khan in Tanhaji The Unsung Warrior trailer; the movie also sees Kajol in a lead role.

• Ajay Devgn and wife Kajol will be appearing on screen for the first time for Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior after the 2008 film U Me Aur Hum.
• Tanhaji is Ajay Devgn’s 100th film in the Hindi film industry.
• Tanhaji also brings back Ajay Devgn and Saif Ali Khan together after Omkara (2006).

Ajay Devgn shared the trailer of the film saying, “4th Feb 1670: The surgical strike that shook the Mughal Empire! Witness history like never before. Presenting the official #TanhajiTrailer.”

In the movie, Ajay Devgn plays the brave Maratha warrior Tanhaji Malusare, who fought the Battle of Sinhagad against Udaybhan Singh Rathod, played by Saif Ali Khan. Maratha leader Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj wanted to recapture Kondhana fort from the Mughals, and Tanhaji took charge of the battle.

In the battle, Tanaji lost his life but ensured victory for the Marathas. Despite the victory, Shivaji Maharaj was unhappy and famously said “gad alaa pan sinha gelaa” which translates to “the fort is captured but the lion (Tanaji Malusare) has gone.” Shivaji Maharaj renamed the Kondana fort as Sinhagad fort in the honour of Tanaji (‘Sinha’ meaning lion).
