\u201cIt is a huge honour to have been chosen by a production house like Yash Raj Films as their heroine. I am thoroughly happy and thrilled about the learnings that I will have through this journey. My life, so far, has been a fairy tale. From becoming Miss India and then Miss World to now getting such a big project as my debut film, it\u2019s like a new, exciting chapter of my life,\u2019 Manushi said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Excited about bagging the role in Prithviraj, Manushi added, \u201cIt is a huge responsibility to play princess Sanyogita. She was a powerful personality and she stood up for what is right and took the most important decisions of her life by herself. Her life is an extremely important chapter in Indian history and I will try my best to play her as accurately as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talking about casting Manushi for the role of Sanyogita, director Chandraprakash Dwivedi said, \u201cWe auditioned a lot of young, fresh faces for the role because we were looking for a stunningly gorgeous Indian heroine. While Sanyogita was an incredibly beautiful person, she was also a strong, confident girl. We were looking to find someone who could match the magnetic persona of Sanyogita and we found that in Manushi. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
