Back in 2016, Nagraj Manjule's film Sairat created history by becoming the first-ever Marathi film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark at the worldwide box office. Since then, for a decade now, no Marathi film has managed to surpass that record. But Riteish Deshmukh’s historical drama Raja Shivaji has created history by achieving this feat. Raja Shivaji has emerged as the highest-grossing Marathi film of all time.
