teaser
of
Prithviraj
captures
the
soul
of
the
film,
the
essence
of
the
life
of
the
legendary
warrior
Samrat
Prithviraj
Chauhan
who
knew
no
fear.
This
is
our
tribute
to
his
heroism
and
his
life.
The
more
I
read
about
him,
the
more
I
was
awed
by
how
he
lived
and
breathed
every
single
second
of
his
glorious
life
for
his
country
and
his
values."
Earlier,

is
best
known

his
TV
series
Chanakya,
had
told
a

portal,
"Prithviraj
is
also
based
mainly
on
medieval
literature,
an
epic
called
'Prithviraj
Raso' by
the
great
poet
Chand
Bardai.
Apart
from
couple
of
versions
of
'Raso',
there
are
many
other
literary
works
on
Prithviraj,
his
life
and
times.
In
addition
to
these,
there
are
commentaries
on
'Raso'."

Yash
Raj
Films,
