Samrat Prithviraj, despite being made on a reportedly Rs 200 crore budget, has turned out to be a cropper at the box office. The period saga only made about Rs 67 crore, turning it into one of the biggest Bollywood BO disappointments in recent times. While blame games were passed around as to who is responsible, there were reports that both producer, Aditya Chopra of YRF, and director Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi were unhappy with lead star Akshay Kumar's 'lack of commitment' to the role.
