Prithviraj Chauhan Biopic: Manushi Chhillar Starts Prepping for Her Debut Movie With Akshay Kumar?

Earlier there were reports that Miss World Manushi Chhillar is all set to make her Bollywood debut opposite Akshay Kumar. Apparently, she has bagged Akshay Kumar's much ambitious project, Prithviraj Chauhan Biopic. According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the actress has already started prepping up for the role of Sanyukta (one of the three wives of Prithviraj Chauhan). The entertainment portal quoted a trusted source close to the project as saying, "Akshay and Manushi have begun the prep work at YRF starting this week." However, there's no official confirmation on this as of yet. Akshay Kumar’s Prithviraj Chauhan Biopic to Star Manushi Chillar; Former Miss World to Make Bollywood Debut as Leading Lady

Helmed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi, Prithviraj Chauhan Biopic, that will reportedly revolve around the first battle of Tarain led by Chauhan, is expected to be an epic love story. The film is being produced by Yash Raj Films.

Interestingly, Manushi was also offered the Hindi remake of the Telugu hit RX100 opposite Suniel Shetty’s son Ahan (which is the latter’s launch pad) but the actress turned it down. A source in interaction with DNA, had said, "Manushi felt that venturing into Bollywood with another newcomer would be too much of a pressure. She felt making her debut opposite an established star would be a better bet."

On the career front, Akshay Kumar is currently riding high on the success of his latest outing Mission Mangal, which was also driven by the female power of Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Nithya Menen. Akshay, who has an impressive line-up to look forward to, will be next seen in Good News, Sooryavanshi and Laxmmi Bomb. Stay tuned!
