It was a saga of sacrifice, conflict and dharma. It did not merely chronicle historical details but was an artistic attempt to record the emotional, cultural and social journey of Chhatrapati Shivaji. Rather than trying to match the physical appearance of Shivaji, Vaibhav emphasised his principles and ideas through visuals.

His intelligence, depth and creative maturity was instantly evident. His presentations are akin to MF Hussain's abstract Art. But it takes an artist of caliber to turn Abstract into a masterpiece.
