Akshay Kumar on the high he derived from doing Prithviraj
Akshay admits Prithviraj gave him the chance to explore action that was ground-breaking for a big screen historical. He adds, “I have always loved action films and doing action in my own projects gives me a high. So, for me, the film presented me with an opportunity to explore something I love. It was really tough to pull off these elaborate war sequences, wearing heavy armour in the sweltering heat but I knew that these scenes will look spectacular on the big screen and add to the extravaganza Prithviraj is a film that’s high on patriotism, given the valour and sacrifice of the mighty king. It needed to be presented in a way that will make people gasp with excitement and I think we have achieved it. I’m proud of how Prithviraj has shaped up and hopefully it will entertain people thoroughly.” Also Read - Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are already preparing their baby to be an athlete; we wonder what 3 Idiots' Rancho would say [Deets Inside]
