The treacherous meeting that changed history
Afzal Khan was a cruel chieftain of the Adilshahi dynasty. He attacked the borders of Swarajya, burned villages, demolished temples, and tortured women. Shivaji Maharaj decided to meet him but remained cautious.
During the meeting, Khan tried to stab Shivaji Maharaj with his dagger while hugging him. But at the same time, Shivaji Maharaj stabbed Khan in the stomach with his dagger. Khan’s stomach fell out and he died. This incident is known in history as Afzal Khan Vadh.
The filming done by Amol Borude with the help of AI is so perfect that the face of Chhatrapati, his voice, the blow of Vaghanakha, the cry of Khan, everything is so moving that it makes you shiver. The spark in Chhatrapati’s eyes and the fear on Khan’s face are very clear in the video.
