Yash
Raj
Films
is
making
its
first
historical
with
Prithviraj,
which
is
based
on
the
life
and
valour
of
the
fearless
and
mighty
King
Prithviraj
Chauhan.
Superstar
Akshay
Kumar
is
essaying
the
role
of
the
legendary
warrior
who
fought
valiantly
against
the
merciless
invader
Muhammad
of
Ghor.
Debutant
Manushi
Chhillar
has
been
cast
opposite
Akshay
as
Prithviraj's
beloved
Princess
Sanyogita
and
she
is
thrilled
about
the
positive
response
that
her
look
in
the
film
is
garnering.
Manushi,
who
made
India
proud
by
winning
the
Miss
World
crown
17
years
after
Priyanka
Chopra
won
it
for
India,
says,
"I'm
ecstatic
that
we
now
have
a
date
for
Prithviraj's
release
on
the
big
screen.
It
is
the
ultimate
theatrical
entertainer
that
needs
to
be
watched
in
its
full
glory.
I
have
been
fortunate
enough
to
have
gotten
this
kind
of
launchpad
and
I'm
hoping
that
I
have
done
justice
to
the
opportunity
that
I
have
got."
She
adds,
"I
worked
hard
to
get
the
part
and
I
know
that
I
worked
on
myself
harder
to
play
the
role
of
Princess
Sanyogita.
It
was
a
huge
responsibility.
I'm
thrilled
that
people
are
appreciating
how
I'm
looking
in
the
film.
I
hope
that
they
love
how
I
have
performed
too
because
that's
going
to
be
my
true
test
on
screen."
Manushi's
launch
in
Bollywood
is
definitely
one
of
the
most
awaited
debuts
of
2022.
Prithviraj
is
being
directed
