Miss
World
2017
Manushi
Chhillar
can
be
best
described
as
an
ethereal
beauty.
This
gorgeous
22-year-old
girl
has
been
one
of
the
most
coveted
new
faces
sought
after
by
top
Bollywood
film-makers.
It
has
been
long
rumoured
that
she
is
set
to
be
making
her
big
debut
in
Bollywood
and
now
we
can
officially
reveal
she
is
getting
the
biggest
launch
for
any
newcomer
in
the
recent
times!
It
is
a
dream
debut
in
Bollywood
for
her
as
India's
biggest
production
house,
Yash
Raj
Films,
has
signed
Manushi
as
the
heroine
of
their
biggest
historical
film
Prithviraj
based
on
the
life
and
heroism
of
the
fearless
and
mighty
King
Prithviraj.
It
stars
superstar
Akshay
Kumar
in
and
as
Prithviraj
and
Manushi
will
play
the
role
of
the
gorgeous
Sanyogita,
Prithiviraj's
love
of
life.
Prithviraj
is
being
directed
by
Dr
Chandraprakash
Dwivedi,
who
directed
the
biggest
television
epic
Chanakya
-
based
on
the
life
and
times
of
the
most
influential
political
strategist
of
India
and
the
multiple
award-winning
Pinjar.
Dwivedi
says,
"We
auditioned
a
lot
of
young,
fresh
faces
for
the
role
because
we
were
looking
for
a
stunningly
gorgeous
Indian
heroine.
While
Sanyogita
was
an
incredibly
beautiful
person,
she
was
also
a
strong,
confident
girl.
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.
She
has
been
rehearsing
six
days
a
week
since
then
and
she
is
being
thoroughly
groomed
for
the
last
9
months
by
YRF."
YRF
has
always
discovered
supremely
talented
outsiders
like
Ranveer
Singh,
Anushka
Sharma,
etc.,
who
have
become
stars
in
their
own
right.
So,
all
eyes
on
Manushi
as
a
heroine
to
watch
out
for!
YRF
has
also
signed
her
on
as
their
talent
and
will
manage
Manushi
completely.
"It
is
a
huge
honour
to
have
been
chosen
by
a
production
house
like
Yash
Raj
Films
as
their
heroine!
I'm
thoroughly
happy
and
thrilled
about
the
learnings
that
I
will
have
through
this
journey.
My
life,
so
far,
has
really
been
a
fairy
tale.
From
becoming
Miss
India
and
then
Miss
World
to
now
getting
such
a
big
project
as
my
debut
film,
it's
like
a
new,
exciting
chapter
of
my
life.
It
is
a
huge
responsibility
to
play
princess
Sanyogita.
She
was
a
powerful
personality
and
she
stood
up
for
what
is
right
and
took
the
most
important
decisions
of
her
life
by
herself.
Her
life
is
an
extremely
important
chapter
in
Indian
history
and
I
will
try
my
best
to
play
her
as
accurately
as
possible," Manushi
adds.
Manushi
is
also
a
good
example
of
beauty
with
brains
as
she
has
a
strong
voice
and
is
an
opinion
leader
who
takes
a
stand
on
societal
issues.
Immediately
after
winning
Miss
World,
she
conceived
and
founded
a
non-profit
organisation,
Project
Shakti,
aimed
at
improving
the
menstrual
hygiene
of
women
in
India.
Manushi
constantly
works
with
women
in
over
20
villages
of
India
to
spread
the
message
of
sanitation.
Today,
this
organisation
provides
free
sanitary
pads
among
women
and
has
also
empowered
the
women
of
the
community
by
making
them
earn
a
living
and
become
self-reliant.
Manushi
is
a
huge
fan
of
former
Miss
Worlds
and
super
achievers
Priyanka
Chopra
and
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
and
considers
them
her
role
models.
She
is
a
trained
Kuchipudi
dancer,
and
has
trained
under
legendary
dancers
-
Raja
and
Radha
Reddy
and
Kaushalya
Reddy.
Prithviraj
will
release
worldwide
on
Diwali
2020.
