Arjun Rampal dropped the poster on his social media profile. He captioned it, “Proud to be part of a historical event that blew my mind and is sure to blow yours. #TheBattleofBhimaKoregaon coming in 2021”

The film is based the controversial battle fought between the British East India Company and the Peshwa’s faction of the Maratha confederacy on 1 January 1818 at Bhima Koregaon. The British forces, mostly comprising Mahar soldiers, beat back a much larger army.

The Mahars and others considered untouchable by the Brahmin Peshwas celebrate the battle today as a symbol of their victory over upper-caste oppression. Every year on 1 January, a large number of Dalits visit Bhima Koregaon to commemorate the victory.

On the second centenary of the battle in 2018, there was tension between Dalits and people from the so-called upper castes in the area, resulting in violence. Since then, the battle of Bhima Koregaon has been embroiled in controversy.

Apart from historic drama, Arjun Rampal has also lined-up a court-room thriller, Nail Polish, for the release.
