Yash Raj Films’ head honcho Aditya Chopra has allegedly spent multiple crores on Prithviraj movie sets.
Directed by Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi, Akshay Kumar is playing the titular role of Prithviraj Chauhan in this historical drama.
Prithviraj marks the Bollywood debut of Miss World 2017 winner Manushi Chhillar as Princess Sanyogita. Sonu Sood will be seen as Chand Vardai while Sanjay Dutt essays the trusted saamant – Kaka Kanha.
The movie is based on Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, the Rajput warrior king who had bravely fought against the Muslim ruler, Muhammad Ghori.
Prithviraj Sets Budget:
The Akshay Kumar-starrer’s gigantic historical set is a visual delight. If this report is to be believed, Aditya Chopra – producer of Prithviraj – allocated over Rs 25 CRORES for the recreation of 12th century Delhi, Ajmer and Kannauj from scratch.
Talking about the set, Chandanprakash Dwivedi said in a statement –
“Aditya Chopra took on the Herculean task to recreate Delhi, Ajmer and Kannauj and I have to congratulate the entire set-design team for being able to pull off the unthinkable. Real marble was used to build the city, 900 workers toiled hard for about eight months to build this gigantic set that was a marvel to our eyes. Every element of the city, including Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan’s palace was built from scratch.”
