After watching Vicky Kaushal’s historical film Chhaava, villagers in Madhya Pradesh’s Burhanpur began digging fields near the historic Asirgarh Fort, believing Mughal-era gold coins were buried there. Viral videos showed people excavating through the night using mobile torches and metal detectors. The digging started around 7 PM and continued until 3 AM, fueled by rumours that treasure lay beneath the fort, once a key Mughal stronghold. However, no official evidence supports these claims. Local police intervened after videos circulated on social media, warning against illegal excavation. Authorities have urged people not to fall for baseless rumors. Asirgarh Fort, historically significant, has long been linked to treasure legends, but experts caution against such speculative searches without proper authorisation. ‘Chhaava’ Makes Waves Across India: Maharashtra Leaders Watch Vicky Kaushal’s Period Drama During Special Screening, Laud Movie.
