Leading production house, Yash Raj Films, recently announced that it is making one of the biggest period films ever produced by Bollywood. Titled Prithviraj, the film is based on the life and heroism of the fearless and mighty King Prithviraj Chauhan and superstar Akshay Kumar is essaying the role of the warrior. Historians and folk legends portray him as an incredibly brave king who stood in front of the merciless Muhammad of Ghor and his ruthless invaders of India. Prithviraj’s daredevilry and heroism against Muhammad of Ghor catapulted him into a legendary ruler and fighter of free India.
Prithviraj is, incidentally, the first-ever historical of YRF and the makers announced their ambitious production on Akshay Kumar's 52nd birthday.
Talking about the same, Akshay said, “It is truly an honour that I will be playing the role of one of the most fearless and courageous kings of India, Prithviraj Chauhan. As a nation, we should always celebrate our heroes and immortalize what they did to propagate the values that Indians lived by. Prithviraj is our attempt to bring to light his valour and daredevilry. Prithviraj was the only person standing in front of a merciless nemesis and the bravery he showed, made him a true Indian hero, an inspiration for generations and a legend. So this announcement coming on my birthday has indeed made it more special for me.”
Directed by Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi who has earlier directed the biggest television epic Chanakya, Prithviraj will release worldwide on Diwali 2020.
