Rashmika Mandanna plays Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's wife Maharani Yesubai in Chhaava.
It was a 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity for her, says Rashmika, who says she's happy to retire after playing this role.
Amruta Khanvilkar played Yesubai in last year's Marathi historical Dharmarakshak Mahaveer Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj: Part 1.
Her nuanced portrayal was praised and the film was a hit.
In the Marathi Swarajya Rakshak Sambhaji, which focuses on Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj's legacy, Prajakta Gaikwad portrays his wife and a fierce queen of the Maratha Empire.

Child artist Abha Bodas played the young Yesubai in the Marathi TV serial Swarajyarakshak Sambhaji.
