Releasing the teaser of Prithviraj, Akshay Kumar said, “This teaser captures the soul of the film, the essence of the life of the great warrior emperor Prithviraj Chauhan. It is our tribute to his valor and his life. The more I read about him, the more I read about him. Equally I was amazed at how he lived each and every moment of his glorious life for his country and his values.”

He further added, “He is a legend, he is one of the bravest warriors and he is one of the most honest kings that our country has ever seen. We hope that Indians across the world would like to salute this mighty braveheart.” We have tried to present the story of his life in the most authentic way possible and the film is a tribute to his unmatched bravery and courage.”

The film is mainly inspired by Chand Bardai’s epic Prithviraj Raso. Prithviraj Raso is an epic written in Hindi which depicts the life and character of Prithviraj in the best possible way. The film’s director Chandraprakash Dwivedi feels that the tales of great warriors like Prithviraj are highly relevant even in the present era, where good is in constant struggle with evil. Prithviraj Chauhan (reign: 1178-1192) had achieved military success against several neighboring Hindu kingdoms. In particular he was successful against the Chandela king Parmardidev. He also stopped the initial invasion of the ruler of the Ghori dynasty, Mohammad Ghori.

Controversy Over The Film

The film had to face constant controversies. The Karni Sena had sent notices to the film’s producer Aditya Chopra, director Chandraprakash Dwivedi and Akshay Kumar to change the name of the film or else it would also have to face a protest like ‘Padyaavat’. Karni Sena says it is insulting to name the film only Prithviraj.

Prithviraj Release Date

The film is scheduled to release in theaters on January 21, 2022. Ashutosh Rana, Sakshi Tanwar, Manav Vij, Lalit Tiwari and Kranti Jha are also going to be seen in important roles in the film.
