<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->In the 80s in Mumbai they used to show movies of Shivaji in marathi. Maybe they still do on the marathi channels on cable. Marathi bhavgeet and popular sangeet if full of praise for Shivaji Maharaj..idiot psec crowd all over India wants to ape marathi in every TV serial (and in Bollywood), but they do not want copy the real Maratha's love of Shivaji and hatred for the mughals.. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes there have been numerous movies on Shivaji in Marathi but not in Bollywood or in other regional languages (well the regional film industry outside of South India has been largely replaced by Bollywood but even in South India there haven't been a lot of movies on Shivaji even though he is very well known down South), this is part of the p-sec agenda, to censor true history, that is why no movies have been made on people like Shivaji, Rana Pratap, Banda and others while Hollywood has no problem in making movies glorifying people like Alexander or Julius Caesar.
