He himself has directed this film and in it he played the role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The film is receiving good response from the audience, while it has received mixed reviews from critics.
Responding to the success of the film, Riteish Deshmukh said that the biggest achievement for him is that the film is not limited to just the box office, but has also connected with the hearts of the audience. He said that seeing families watching films together in the theater gives him immense pleasure.

He further said that this engagement of the audience towards the film is an organic promotion in itself. According to him, when the audience themselves likes a film and starts promoting it, it is the biggest success for any filmmaker.
Raja Shivaji depicts the story of the conflict between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Afzal Khan, the commander of the Bijapur Empire. The film depicts the military campaigns and historical events of Shivaji Maharaj on the big screen.
