Akshay Kumar’s Prithviraj comes to Mumbai

The film is touted as one of the most expensive films ever, and a source close to the film reveals, “A huge and an expensive set is being put up in Mumbai. Few portions of the film will also be shot in other locations of Maharashtra. The film will go on floors in October.”

As far as Akshay is concerned, he will soon start the prep work for the film. A source close to the actor reveals that he is the best action hero, and just has to brush up his skills. However, he will take sword fighting and horse riding lessons for the film.

The actor is also extremely thrilled to be part of this project. “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 immortalise what they did to propagate the values that Indians lived by. Prithviraj is our attempt to bring to light his valour and daredevilry. He 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,” he had said in a past statement.
