Ajay Devgn launched the trailer of his ambitious upcoming period drama Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior at 1.47 pm on Tuesday, November 19. While slices of violence in the trailer suggest the film may not be for the fainthearted, actor-producer Ajay certainly has piqued public curiosity with his very specific release time of the promo clip. Set in the 17th century, the Om Raut directorial is based on the life of Tanaji Malusare, an unsung warrior of Indian history and the military leader in the army of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, founder of the Maratha Empire.

Going by the trailer, the film could have violent wartime drama. Just a few seconds into the trailer, a man's arm gets chopped off in battlefield, and Saif Ali Khan's character beats up a man to death with his headgear. There are lots of sword fight scenes, fire, and clashes between armies, with a bit of dance thrown in.
