Miss
World
2017
Manushi
Chhillar
is
all
set
to
make
her
grand
debut
in
Bollywood
opposite
Akshay
Kumar
in
Prithviraj,
a
period
drama
which
is
directed
by
Chandraprakash
Dwivedi
and
produced
by
Yash
Raj
Films.
The
film
is
based
on
the
life
of
12th
century
king
Samrat
Prithviraj
Chauhan,
wherein
Akshay
plays
the
titular
role
and
Manushi
plays
his
love
interest,
Sanyogita.
In
her
latest
statement,
Manushi
said
that
it's
an
honour
for
her
to
work
in
Prithviraj.
"It
is
a
huge
honour
for
me
and
I'm
giving
my
everything
and
working
really
hard
to
try
and
get
a
lot
of
love
and
appreciation
from
audiences
when
my
film
releases.
I'd
want
to
contribute
towards
portrayal
of
Indian
woman
in
cinema
who
are
forward-thinking,
beautiful,
strong,
vocal,
independent
and
upright
human
beings."(sic)
"Sanyogita
is
a
dream
role
for
me
and
I'm
doing
my
best
to
do
justice
to
the
responsibility
that
has
been
entrusted
on
me," added
Manushi..
Manushi
also
praised
YRF
for
portraying
female
actors
in
a
very
impressive
way
and
said
that
she
feels
fortunate
to
be
one
of
them
today.
"I
have
grown
up
on
YRF
films
like
Dilwale
Dulhania
Le
Jayenge,
Bachna
Ae
Haseeno,
Band
Baaja
Baarat,
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi,
etc
and
have
always
been
fascinated
about
how
the
heroines
have
been
presented
and
projected
in
such
movies.
Such
actresses
captured
the
imagination
of
the
audiences
and
entertained
them
through
their
raft," said
Manushi.
Prithviraj
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
on
Diwali
this
year.
