Taanaji is known as one of the bravest Maratha warriors, synonymous with valor and heroism, and superstar Ajay Devgn is all set to bring his epic story to the big screen with a Magnum Opus.

The first look of Ajay Devgn as Taanaji is out and he looks fierce as a warrior.

The director of the film Om Raut shared the look on social media and wrote, "Happy New Year!!! Har Har Mahadev!!! @ajaydevgn @TanhajiFilm".
