Bollywood debutante Manushi Chhillar underwent extensive prep for her role in Akshay Kumar-starrer  Prithviraj, based on the life of Prithviraj Chauhan. Chhillar shares, “The preparation schedule for me was long and intense. My director Dr Chandraprakash ji wanted me to go through the drill before I even gave my first shot. Looking back, I’m thankful that I put in the hard work.”

The actor shares that she also worked on her dancing skills for this movie. “I’m a trained classical dancer and I had to brush up my dancing skills, because I have three songs in the film. I had to nail the choreography, especially in [the song] Hadd kar de. It is a beautiful Holi song [for which] I had to be precise, and also exhibit that I could dance well. I hope that I have been able to show people that I’m a hard-working actor, who is seeking perfection from my first film.”
