Manushi Chhillar made her Bollywood debut on June 3, 2022 opposite Akshay Kumar in 'Samrat Prithviraj'. The actress has an interesting anecdote about how she bagged the role by performing a scene that Deepika Padukone did in 'Bajirao Mastani'.

Manushi, who is playing the role of Princess Sanyogita in 'Samrat Prithviraj', says, “Every thing about my debut in the film about Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan’s life and daredevilry is special. I remember I had the most intense and challenging audition for the film because I was given a scene that Deepika Padukone performed incredibly in Bajirao Mastani! I knew I had to do a good job for me to get Prithviraj and thankfully Adi sir, my director Chandraprakash ji, Shanoo Sharma and the team at YRF were impressed by my effort.”
