Akshay Kumar's 'Prithviraj' Is A Grandeur Affair; Watch The Trailer Of The Film

Akshay Kumar’s latest flick Prithviraj's trailer was launched today, May 9; the film’s release date was announced as well. The period drama is based on the historical figure King Prithviraj Chauhan of the Chauhan dynasty and revolves around one of the battles he fought—the Battle of Tarain, in which he faced Muhammad Ghori of the Ghurid dynasty.

The film stars Kumar as Prithviraj, former Miss World Manushi Chillar as Sanyogita opposite the 54-year-old actor. This film marks Chillar’s Bollywood debut. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, Ashutosh Rana and Manav Vij.

Prithviraj Trailer

The film’s grandeur trailer has definitely made the audience more curious about how the film will unfold. The gripping trailer begins on a high note as Prithviraj Chauhan is crowned as the new king. The narration describes qualities a great king must possess and the scenes coordinate the same.

The two-minute-30-seconds-long ">trailer then focuses on Chillar’s Sanyogita and how she is enamoured by Prithiviraj and the subsequent doom as Muhammad Ghori announces that he wants to acquire Delhi and will kill anyone in the way. The trailer moves away from celebratory frames to focus on the war.

The film written and directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi is based on an epic poem in Braj Bhasha called Prithviraj Raso. The epic poem sings praises of the king who is known for his valour and for unifying all the Rajput kings against Muhammad Ghori.

Akshay Kumar took to his social media and shared the trailer of the multilingual film. He wrote, “शौर्य और वीरता की अमर कहानी… यह है कहानी सम्राट पृथ्वीराज चौहान की । Releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. Celebrate Samrat #Prithviraj Chauhan with #YRF50 only at a theatre near you.”

Prithviraj Release Date

The film’s shooting faced multiple delays because of the COVID-19 pandemic and is scheduled to release on June 3 in three languages—Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.

The director of the film was quoted saying that he had been living with the story for two decades. “Prithviraj is my dream project. It’s a script that I have nurtured for a long, long time because of the extensive research work that was needed before I even attempted to make a film on this mighty and legendary king. To be precise, Prithviraj’s final research took about six months for me to be fully satisfied that every single fact was checked multiple times,” Dwivedi said.
