MUMBAI: Prithviraj is directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, best known for helming the television epic Chanakya (1991) and the 2003 film adaptation of Amrita Pritam's novel Pinjar. The movie marks the debut of Manushi Chillar who was crowned Miss World in 2017.
The film also stars Sanjay Dutt and Sonu Sood in the lead roles. Earlier in February, the makers also released the character posters of the characters from the movie. While Akshay Kumar essays the lead role of the courageous Prithviraj Chauhan, Manushi Chillar will be playing the role of his wife Sanyogita. Sanjay Dutt will be essaying the role of the brave warrior Kaka Kanha and Sonu Sood will be playing Chand Vardai who was known for his wisdom and valour.
The Delhi High Court Monday refused to entertain a plea seeking to modify the name of Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chillar starrer Prithviraj, produced by Yash Raj Films. A bench of Chief Justice D N Patel and Justice Neena Bansal Krishna said it was inclined to dismiss the Public Interest Litigation (PIL) with costs after which the petitioner's counsel sought permission to withdraw the plea.
The counsel for petitioner Rashtriya Pravasi Parishad submitted that Samrath Prithviraj was a great emperor and putting movie title only as Prithviraj hurts the sentiments of the public at large and it should be more respectful. The plea suggested that the movie's name should be modified as 'Great Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan'.
