She is a clear miscast,” while another commented, “I am a Marathi and she is not having the aura she should have as Yesubai. Sorry, but she is not a perfect fit for the role.” Another user said he wouldn’t judge her character in the movie based on the posters and would rather wait for the trailer to comment on her. ‘Chhaava’: Akshaye Khanna’s Ruthless Aurangzeb Poster Raises Excitement for the Upcoming Film (View Pics).
