MUMBAI: After winning hearts with her talent and beauty, Manushi Chhillar is gearing up for her Bollywood debut. The gorgeous Miss World 2017 is all set to be seen in the historical drama film Prithviraj. 

Manushi is playing the role of Princess Samyukta in YRF’s biggest historical film Prithviraj, which is based on the life and heroism of the fearless and mighty King Prithviraj Chauhan. The film features superstar Akshay Kumar as Prithviraj. Manushi has been one of the most sought-after new faces in Bollywood and the 22-year-old ethereal beauty is getting the grandest launch any newcomer has seen in recent times. 

For Manushi, being offered Prithviraj by Aditya Chopra was a sweet coincidence. She said to media, “While growing up, I was really interested in history, the tales of grand kingdoms and larger than life historical heroes. I had always been fascinated with the story of Prithviraj and Sanyogita and life came to a full circle for me when I was offered this film by YRF.” 

Prithviraj is directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi and produced by Aditya Chopra under his production house Yash Raj Films. It will release worldwide in Diwali 2020.
