Talking about this role, Subodh Bhave said, “Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj said that a sense of respect and pride arises in the mind. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is a constant source of inspiration not only for Marathi people but also for other speakers. I consider it a matter of luck for me to play the role of such a king. As actors, we always want to do some challenging roles. I am aware that this ‘dream role’ role for me is not only challenging but also a huge responsibility. I have sincerely tried to achieve this Shiva Dhanushya. There are few roles that bring joy and satisfaction at the end of the day. This role has given me that happiness to contentment and a new perspective to look at life. Armed with skillful direction by Abhijit Deshpande, a tight screenplay and quality production value courtesy of Zee Studios, Har Har Mahadev will be released in Marathi as well as other languages, so the joy is doubled.”
