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. The film's trailer was unveiled on Monday amidst much fanfare. At the launch, the actor spoke about how educational the movie is and it should be made compulsary to be viewed in schools.
“When Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi narrated the film and told me to play this character, it was a moment of immense pride. I felt mera jeevan sanfal hua. Everything shown in the film is authentic and correct. It is startling that the story has been unknown for such a long time," Akshay Kumar said at the trailer launch.
“I was given a book to read, ‘Prithviraj Raso’, by my director. I read the book slowly and realised how big a warrior he was. But when we read about him in history, he was reduced to just a paragraph,” he said.
“Today, I want every child, not just in India but in the world, to watch the film. It is an educational film. You would want to show your kids what Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan’s story was. I am extremely proud to work in the film. I would also request the government that they make it compulsory viewing in school, so that the kids learn about our history, what and how everything happened,” he explained.
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 King Prithviraj’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.
