Reportedly, before its release, the film was also embroiled in a controversy as some political factions claimed that the film will have some depiction of a relationship between Rani Laxmibai and a British officer. Some viewers reportedly also protested the depiction of the queen dancing to a song in the movie. They cited the reason that a member of a royal family would never engage in activities like dancing and singing, labelling the sequence as 'against tradition.' The film had reportedly managed to cross the ₹100 crore mark within four weeks of its release. It also starred Atul Kulkarni, Danny Denzongpa, Ankita Lokhande and Suresh Oberoi in pivotal roles.
