The makers of The Pride of Bharat: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj have announced a significant creative update, with National Award-winning composer Amit Trivedi coming on board to score the music for the upcoming historical film. This development follows composer Pritam’s recent statement that he is taking a break from mainstream cinema. Directed by Sandeep Singh, the two-part historical saga stars Rishab Shetty as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. With Amit Trivedi now part of the project, lyricist Prasoon Joshi, who has been involved since the early stages, will continue to write the songs.
