Ajay Devgn, who portrays the role of Tanaji Malusare - Maratha ruler Chhatrapati Shivaji's general, in upcoming period piece Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, shared the second trailer of the film. "4th Feb 1670: The battle that brought the entire nation to a standstill. Witness the moment history was created," he wrote in a tweet, referring to the Battle Of Sinhagad, when Rajput fort-keeper Uday Bhan (played by Saif Ali Khan in the movie) attacked the hill fort of Kondhana during Chhatrapati Shivaji's rule. Tanaji - the titular "unsung warrior" - died fighting Uday Bhan but secured the hill fort of Kondhana for the Maratha empire during the battle. After the battle, Chhatrapati Shivaji renamed the hill fort of Kondhana as Sinhagad or 'lion's fort' as a tribute to Tanaji's bravery.
The second trailer of Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior also brings alive pages of Maratha history from before the Battle Of Sinhagad was fought. The trailer has powerful glimpses of Tanaji Malusare preparing for battle while Uday Bhan devises complex battle plans to take down Tanaji's army. Actor Sharad Kelkar, who has been cast as Chatrapati Shivaji, also feature in glimpses but the trailer primarily focuses on Tanaji's bravery in the battle field. The most poignant scene in the trailer is perhaps when Tanaji loses his right arm but continues to defend the Bhagwa (Maratha flag). Kajol features as Tanaji's wife Savitribai Malusare, who finds herself fraught between being a loving mother and the feisty wife of a warrior.
