Directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, Samrat Prithviraj marks the Bollywood debut of Manushi Chhillar. The film has suffered due to the continued good performance of Kartik Aaryan’s Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 at the ticket window, and now it’s also facing tough competition with Jurassic World Dominion in India.

In the film, Akshay plays the role of medieval king Prithviraj Chauhan who battles against the Mohammed of Ghori. It features Manushi as Queen Sanyogita. The f also stars Sonu Sood, Sanjay Dutt, Ashutosh Rana, and Manav Vij in key roles. Talking about the film, previously Manushi told Bollywood Hungama, “Whatever Akshay sir actual might say, but to observe him on set, to observe him work, you get to know that why he is who he is. Same thing with Dr Saab (Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi), the way also Yash Raj Films' works. For me, I couldn't have asked for a better launch because somewhere I knew that they were so experienced. So I think I'm the 22nd newcomer that Akshay sir has worked with.”
