According to reports, Mahesh Manjrekar discusses why Akshay Kumar was chosen to play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the film "Why Wouldn't Anyone Play the Role of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj." The desire to portray Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is at the very top of the priority list for actors. Although I performed the part in one of my Marathi movies, this time we needed someone who resembled Maharaj a bit more youthfully.

In addition, we wanted one of the few heroes we had to resemble Shivaji Maharaj. Akshay's nose resembles Shivaji Maharaj's in an interesting way. Although we don't have the photos, the sketches we do have are quite comparable. Akshay Kumar so fit the criteria well.
