To create the world of the historical drama, Prithviraj, Yash Raj Films, Aditya Chopra, and writer/director Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi went to great lengths to ensure that every detail be it the story, the set, and especially the costumes, was thoroughly researched and authentically created for this epic tale.
Starring Akshay Kumar, Prithviraj is based on the life and valour of the fearless and mighty King Prithviraj Chauhan, the legendary warrior who fought valiantly to protect India from the merciless invader Muhammad of Ghor.
Given the grand scale that the makers wanted to achieve, it is no surprise that the film over 50,000 costumes handmade; yes, you read that right, 50,000 and also created 500 different types of turbans during the shoot!

Yash Raj Films’ first historical drama, Prithviraj, which is based on the life and valour of the fearless and mighty King Prithviraj Chauhan is gearing up for it’s theatrical release June 3rd. Akshay Kumar is essaying the role of the legendary warrior who fought valiantly to protect India from the merciless invader Muhammad of Ghor.
We have been awed by the trailer and now we have the first song ‘Hari Har’. Composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and sung by Adarsh Shinde, the actor feels as if this stirring song brings forward the essence of the film.
Akshay says, “According to me, ‘Hari Har’ is the soul of the film and salutes the daredevil spirit of Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan who sacrificed everything to protect his motherland from the merciless invader, Mohammad of Ghor. ‘Hari Har’ is brimming with the mighty king’s resolve to protect India which is why I connect so deeply with the song.
