Manushi Chhillar is set to make her Bollywood debut with YRF’s historical film Prithviraj, based on the life and heroism of the fearless and mighty King Prithviraj Chauhan.
The film stars Akshay Kumar as Prithviraj, and Manushi as Sanyogita.
The actress who has started shooting, during her interview revealed how she is thoroughly enjoying the process of shooting her first film. “I’m currently enjoying the process of learning because I have miles to go and lots to soak in. It is a lot of work to become an actress and it’s also extremely creatively satisfying. It’s also important for me to put in this hard work because YRF has showed a lot of faith and trust in me and made me a part of their biggest film this year. I would want to prove myself well with this opportunity,” says Manushi.
She believes that Prithviraj will be a great learning ground for her as she is working with one of the biggest superstars — Akshay Kumar.
She says, “It is a huge honour to be a part of an Akshay Kumar starrer. I will get to learn from someone who is the best in this industry. Prithviraj is a huge learning ground for me. For me, being on the sets every day is hugely enjoyable.”
Manushi adds, “I’m like a kid in a candy store because I’m getting to pick up so many new aspects of filmmaking and acting at every given second. After the end of the day’s shoot, I feel happy and exhilarated to prepare myself for my next day’s shoot and look forward to be on the set again because I know I will again learn something entirely new. Prithviraj is my first film and I want to thoroughly enjoy the process of becoming a Hindi film actress and use my time to becoming better at the craft of acting.”
The film is being directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi, who has directed the epic Chanakya – based on the life and times of the most influential political strategist of India and the multiple award-winning Pinjar.
Prithviraj will release worldwide in Diwali 2020.
