Samrat Prithviraj

Samrat Prithviraj (transl. Emperor Prithviraj) is a 2022 Indian Hindi-language epic historical action drama film written and directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. The film is based on Prithviraj Raso, a Braj language epic poem about the life of Prithviraj Chauhan, a king from the Chahamana dynasty. It features Akshay Kumar as the titular character, while Manushi Chhillar makes her Hindi film debut by playing the role of Sanyogita. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, Manav Vij, Ashutosh Rana and Sakshi Tanwar in other pivotal roles.

An official motion poster for the film was released by Yash Raj Films on 9 September 2019, revealing its release in cinemas on Diwali 2020. Principal photography began in Jaipur on 15 November 2019, but was suspended in March 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic in India, due to which the film was indefinitely postponed. The film's shoot resumed in October 2020 at YRF Studios. Originally titled Prithviraj, the film was renamed Samrat Prithviraj following a court litigation week ahead of its scheduled release. The film was released on 3 June 2022.

The film received mixed reviews from critics. It was made on a reported budget between ₹150 crore (US$18 million) and ₹300 crore (US$35 million), and amassed a worldwide gross collection of ₹90.32 crore (US$11 million), making it a huge box office failure.
