Akshay Kumar to play Prithviraj Chauhan in Chandraprakash Dwivedi’s next: Post Gold and Kesari, Akshay Kumar, the Bollywood actor has signed up for yet another period and historical movie – a film on the Prithviraj Chauhan, said a DNA report.
Produced by Yash Raj Films, the movie will be helmed by filmmaker Chandraprakash Dwivedi. “Akshay and YRF have been discussing to work together for quite some time. There were rumors that Shimit Amin is directing a film with him, but that’s not true. It’s another project that will be helmed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi,” the report quoted as per a source.
Once Akshay completes Hera Pheri 3, the movie is likely to go on floors by the next year of 2018.
Prithviraj Chauhan was an Indian king from the Chauhan dynasty, and he ruled in the Delhi region of north-western India.
He is best remembered and known for his battle against Muhammad of Ghor (in modern-day Afghanistan) in 1191-92 AD, called the Second battle of Tarain and this will be really interesting to see Mr. Khiladi Kumar in the avatar of the great Indian king, Prithviraj Chauhan.
