Talking about his first historical period drama, Khiladi Kumar shared,

It is truly an honour that I will be playing the role of one of the most fearless and courageous kings of India, Prithviraj Chauhan. As a nation, we should always celebrate our heroes and immortalize what they did to propagate the values that Indians lived by. Prithviraj is our attempt to bring to light his valour and daredevilry. Prithviraj was the only person standing in front of a merciless nemesis and the bravery he showed, made him a true Indian hero, an inspiration for generations and a legend. So this announcement coming on my birthday has indeed made it more special for me.

- Akshay Kumar

Produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Dr Chandra Prakash Dwivedi, Prithviraj is set to release in December 2020. The makers are still in search for the female lead of the film, who will be seen playing the role of Sanyogita.
