Manushi Chhilla's life changed dramatically in a short period of time, from medical student to Miss World 2017. The 25-year-old will make his feature film debut with Samrat Prithviraj, which will be produced by Yash Raj Films. We spoke with the talented actor about her film and how her life has changed since her Miss World days.
In the interview Manushi shares how she felt during the shoot of prithviraj and how she always tries to improve herself and give her best. Miss World, who is starting her career as acting, also shares anecdotes on her journey before the pageant and how everything changed later.
Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi, who directed a classic serial like Chanakya and a popular film like Pinjar, directed Prithviraj. As a result, there are high expectations for the film's historical accuracy. Yash Raj Films is in charge of the production. This is also the banner's first historical film.
In terms of the rest of the film's cast, former Miss World Manushi Chillar is making her debut as an actress. She is playing Princess Sanyogita. Sanjay Dutt plays Kaka Kanha, and Sonu Sood plays Chandvardai, the author of Prithviraj Raso, the heroic story of Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan. Manav Vij is playing the role of Mohammad Ghori.
Let us tel you that the film has been declared tax-free in three states ahead of its release: Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Madhya Pradesh. Because the film is tax-free in these states, ticket sales are expected to rise. Although this may keep the film's initial collections low, it will reach a larger audience. Akshay has aggressively promoted Emperor Prithviraj. Akshay had also shown the film to Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The title of Emperor Prithviraj was previously only Prithviraj, but the makers changed it to Samrat Prithviraj on the request of the Karni Sena. A petition was also filed in the Delhi High Court regarding Prithviraj Chauhan's caste, and the makers stated that his caste was not depicted in the film.
