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.
Akshay,
who
is
known
for
being
an
undisputed
all-time
action
superstar
of
our
country,
says
he
was
like
'a
kid
in
a
candy
store'
when
he
realised
the
scale
of
action
that
he
will
get
to
perform
in
Prithviraj!
The
superstar
says,
"Prithviraj
is
mounted
at
a
scale
that
will
wow
people
and
action
plays
an
integral
part
in
heightening
the
entertainment
quotient
of
the
film.
Prithviraj
is
a
big
screen
action
extravaganza
that
awaits
to
unfold
in
front
of
the
eyes
of
the
audiences.
It
will
give
numerous
highs
given
how
Samrat
Prithviraj
Chauhan
took
on
the
responsibility
of
protecting
the
country
and
its
people
from
the
merciless
invader
Mohammad
of
Ghor.
I
was
like
a
kid
in
a
candy
store
when
I
realised
the
scale
of
action
that
I
will
get
to
perform."
Akshay
says
Prithviraj
gave
him
the
chance
to
explore
action
that
was
ground-breaking
for
a
big
screen
historical.
He
says,
"I
have
always
loved
action
films
and
doing
action
in
my
own
projects
gives
me
a
high.
So,
for
me,
the
film
presented
me
with
an
opportunity
to
explore
something
I
love.
It
was
really
tough
to
pull
off
these
elaborate
war
sequences,
wearing
heavy
armour
in
the
sweltering
heat
but
I
knew
that
these
scenes
will
look
spectacular
on
the
big
screen
and
add
to
the
extravaganza
Prithviraj
is
a
film
that's
high
on
patriotism,
given
the
valour
and
sacrifice
of
the
mighty
king."
He
adds,
"It
needed
to
be
presented
in
a
way
that
will
make
people
gasp
with
excitement
and
I
think
we
have
achieved
it.
I'm
proud
of
how
Prithviraj
has
shaped
up
and
hopefully
it
will
entertain
people
thoroughly."
Prithviraj
has
been
directed
by
Dr.
Chandraprakash
Dwivedi,
who
is
best
known
for
directing
the
television
epic
Chanakya
and
the
critically
acclaimed
film
Pinjar.
The
ethereally
gorgeous
Manushi
Chhillar
plays
the
role
of
Samrat
Prithviraj
Chauhan's
beloved
Sanyogita
and
her
launch
is
definitely
one
of
the
most
awaited
debuts
of
2022.
The
film
is
set
to
release
on
June
3
in
Hindi,
Tamil
and
Telugu.
