The film also marks the debut of the Miss World beauty Manushi Chhillar. Commenting about the film, Akshay said in a statement, “This is our tribute to his (Prithviraj) heroism and his life. He is a legend; he is one of the bravest warriors and he is one of the most upright kings that our country has ever seen. We hope that Indians worldwide love our salute to this mighty braveheart.
