Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chhillar's period drama Prithviraj is mainly inspired by late poet Chand Bardai's epic titled Prithviraj Raso, reported news agency ANI. Prithviraj is being directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi and produced by Yash Raj Films. The film, in which Akshay Kumar and Manushi will play the roles of Prithviraj and Sanyogita, respectively, will mark her Bollywood debut. Prithviraj Raso is a Braj poem that revolves around the life of great warrior king Prithviraj Chauhan. Talking about the film, Chandraprakash Dwivedi said: "Prithviraj is also based mainly on medieval literature, an epic called Prithviraj Raso by the great poet Chand Bardai. Apart from a couple of versions of Raso, there are many other literary works on Prithviraj, his life, and times. In addition to these, there are commentaries on Raso," reported ANI.
