Miss
World
2017
Manushi
Chhillar
will
soon
be
making
her
Bollywood
debut.
The
22-year
old
will
be
launched
by
Yah
Raj
Films
in
the
historical
drama
Prithviraj
opposite
superstar
star
Akshay
Kumar.
The
debutant
will
portray
Sanyogita,
the
love
interest
of
Prithviraj.
The
former
beauty
queen
gave
the
first
shot
for
her
debut
screen
venture
on
Monday.
She
also
stated
the
significance
the
day
folds
in
her
life.
"It
is
really
a
beautiful
coincidence
that
I
gave
my
first
shot
for
Prithviraj
on
the
same
day
that
I
had
won
Miss
World
two
years
back.
November
18
is
definitely
one
of
the
most
special
days
of
my
life
and
I'm
thrilled
that
two
of
my
life's
biggest
milestones
fall
on
the
same
day.
Giving
the
first
shot
for
my
debut
film
was
simply
surreal," she
said.
She
further
continued
and
said
"I
know
I
have
a
lot
of
hard
work
to
do
to
prove
myself
as
an
actor
and
I'm
prepared
to
do
just
that.
I
wish
the
universe
showers
the
film
and
me
with
tons
of
good
luck."
The
magnum
opus
Prithviraj
is
directed
by
Dr.
Chandraprakash
Dwivedi.
On
having
chosen
Manushi
for
the
part,
the
filmmaker
in
a
recent
interview
had
said
“We
were
looking
to
find
someone
who
could
match
the
magnetic
persona
of
Sanyogita
and
we
found
that
in
Manushi.
She
auditioned
for
the
role
a
couple
of
times
because
we
wanted
to
be
dead
sure
with
this
casting
and
she
nailed
it
each
time.”
The
highly
anticipated
movie
will
release
worldwide
on
Diwali
2020
