Akshay
Kumar's
next
is
Yash
Raj
Films'
first
historical,
Prithviraj,
which
is
based
on
the
life
and
valour
of
the
fearless
and
mighty
King
Prithviraj
Chauhan.
He
is
essaying
the
role
of
the
legendary
warrior
who
fought
valiantly
to
protect
India
from
the
merciless
invader
Muhammad
of
Ghor
in
this
visual
spectacle.
The
film
will
also
focus
on
the
beautiful
love
story
between
Prithviraj
and
his
beloved
Princess
Sanyogita,
played
by
the
ethereally
gorgeous
debutant
Manushi
Chhillar,
former
Miss
World
2017.
In
keeping
with
their
strategy
to
only
release
teasers
of
the
songs
to
hold
back
the
visual
extravaganza
of
the
film
to
create
more
anticipation,
Yash
Raj
Films
today
teased
a
glimpse
of
the
first
song
of
the
film,
Hadd
Kar
De
-
a
Holi
track
that
promises
scale
and
a
peak
into
the
romance
of
Samrat
Prithviraj
Chauhan
and
Princess
Sanyogita.
Akshay
loves
the
fact
that
all
songs
used
by
Yash
Raj
Films
in
Prithviraj
are
original
compositions,
a
rarity
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
today
that
belts
out
remix
after
remix
and
have
been
criticised
for
its
lack
of
originality.
He
says,
"What
I
love
about
the
songs
in
our
film
based
on
Samrat
Prithviraj
Chauhan's
life
is
that
they
are
all
original
music!
Today,
hardly
any
film
can
boast
of
this
and
I
love
the
album
dearly
because
the
songs
are
not
in
the
film
just
for
the
sake
of
it."
He
adds,
"The
songs
in
our
film
take
forward
the
narrative
of
the
script
and
it
has
been
written
and
strategically
designed
to
express
the
said
scene
way,
way
better.
The
Holi
song
(Hadd
Kar
De)
is
a
track
that
comes
when
the
audience
is
told
about
how
beautiful
Samrat
Prithviraj
Chauhan
and
Princess
Sanyogita's
romance
was."
Akshay
further
explains,
"Theirs
was
a
relationship
of
equals
and
I
love
that
both
parties
strived
to
have
a
straight-forward
relationship
that
was
built
on
trust,
mutual
admiration
and
respect.
It
is
a
crucial
song
that
shows
the
pure
relationship
that
the
two
share
and
tells
the
audiences
to
see
the
film
also
as
a
romance
and
not
just
an
epic
historical
film."
Manushi
says,
"Hadd
Kar
De
was
the
very
first
song
we
shot
in
the
film!
While
prepping
for
the
movie
in
general,
I
was
learning
a
little
bit
of
Kathak
and
practicing
a
little
bit
semi-classical.
For
Hadd
Kar
De,
it
is
mostly
semi-classical.
There
are
few
elements
of
Kathak
in
in
it.
It
is
a
very
beautiful
song
on
celebrating
Holi.
I
still
remember
it
was
a
wet
Holi
on
the
sets.
So,
I
was
wearing
a
lehenga
and
it
was
soaking
up
all
the
water
so
it
was
getting
heavier
and
I
was
dancing
with
250
dancers
and
I
was
matching
their
energies."
She
adds,
"On
the
day
of
the
song
shoot
I
was
very
nervous
and
I
had
called
my
parents
to
come
watch
the
shoot!
They
came
on
set
and
it
was
a
really
good
experience
because
they
got
to
know
how
movies
are
made
and
what
actually
happens
behind
the
scenes.
That
was
also
the
first
time
they
came
on
any
film
set."
