Manushi Chhillar was an overnight sensation when she grabbed the Miss World crown in 2017. She was the only successor of Priyanka Chopra since the latter bagged the crown in 2000. It took 17 years for India to bring home the glory and we are in awe of Chhillar for making it possible. After her big achievement, many Bollywood filmmakers approached her to help her debut in the industry but she waited and finally settled for the best. Manushi will now enter B-town as Akshay Kumar's lead heroine in Yash Raj Films' Prithviraj. Manushi Chhillar Officially Comes on Board as 'Sanyogita' in Akshay Kumar's Prithviraj.

Manushi's Instagram is filled with her pictures decked up in traditional ensembles. She has often turned a muse for many designers and believes in setting the ramp on fire. While her holiday pictures may grab your eyeballs, the ones in her ethnic attires are the ones that drive us crazy. The way she nails her traditional costumes and carries them with so much panache makes her the right choice to play Sanyogita in Akshay Kumar's Prithviraj. Of course, she's working on her acting skills but leaving that, she has all the right qualities to bring alive this historical character on the big screen. Miss World 2018: Manushi Chhillar Scintillates in Black Sabyasachi Lehenga for the Crowning Ceremony at Sanya, China, View Pics.

Speaking about her audition process, Chandraprakash Dwivedi in his recent conversation with Bombay Times said, "We were looking to find someone who could match the magnetic persona of Sanyogita and we found that in Manushi. She auditioned for the role a couple of times because we wanted to be dead sure with this casting and she nailed it each time. She has been rehearsing six days a week since then and she is being thoroughly groomed for the last 9 months by YRF."

Prithviraj will hit the screens on Diwali 2020 and clash with Kangana Ranaut's Dhaakad.
