Manushi Chhillar on Prithviraj: Fortunate to get this launchpad

Manushi Chhillar is making her Bollywood debut as Sanyogita in Prithviraj. The film stars Akshay Kumar as the titular 12th-century ruler. The characters' posters were recently unveiled, following a trailer two months ago. The film is releasing in theatres in June this year.

Manushi, who won the Miss World crown in 2017, says, “I’m ecstatic that we now have a date for Prithviraj’s release on the big screen. It is the ultimate theatrical entertainer that needs to be watched in its full glory. I have been fortunate enough to have gotten this kind of launchpad and I’m hoping that I have done justice to the opportunity that I have got.”

Manushi asserts she has worked hard to portray Princess Sanyogita. "It was a huge responsibility. I’m thrilled that people are appreciating how I’m looking in the film. I hope that they love how I have performed too because that’s going to be my true test on screen.”

Prithviraj is directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi. The film releases worldwide on June 10, 2022. It will be in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu in 2D and IMAX.
