What happens
Samrat Prithviraj (transl. Emperor Prithviraj) is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language epic historical action drama film written and directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. The film is based on Prithviraj Raso, a Braj language epic poem about the life of Prithviraj Chauhan, a king from the Chahamana dynasty. It features Akshay Kumar as the titular character, with Manushi Chhillar (in her Hindi film debut) Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, Manav Vij, Ashutosh Rana, and Sakshi Tanwar in supporting roles. The film was announced on 9 September 2019, revealing its release date of Diwali 2020. Principal photography began in Jaipur on 15 November 2019, but was halted in March 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in India, due to which the film was indefinitely postponed. The film's shoot resumed in October 2020 at the YRF Studios. Originally titled Prithviraj, the film was renamed Samrat Prithviraj following a court litigation week ahead of its scheduled release. Samrat Prithviraj was released on 3 June 2022, and received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics. It was made on a reported budget between ₹150 crore (US$16 million) and ₹300 crore (US$31 million), and grossed ₹90.32 crore (US$9.5 million) worldwide, making it a box office failure.
