New Delhi: Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Samrat Prthviraj’ is making waves ahead of its release and has set the nation talking about the valiant Hindu emperor, even before it hits the silver screen.
Today, Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath along with his cabinet colleagues watched the movie with actor Akshay Kumar & director by his side. A special screening was held for the UP CM & cabinet ministers at the Raj Bhavan.
Reports also suggest that the movie has been made tax free in the state. The decision has been taken and soon a notification will be issued for making the movie accessible for all, as it showcases the rich Indian culture that existed centuries ago.
The movie revisits the country’s rich culture & sheds light on the Hindu Kindgom and how it promoted the modern values in that era and strongly resisted the attack by foreign invaders.
The movie director Chandraprakash is known for directing iconic shows of 1990 including ‘Chanakya’.
Elaborating on the life of Hindu emperor, he says, “Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan and his life is a living example of how every Indian must live for his family, his country and his freedom. The values of the mighty Samrat are still relevant and will continue to be relevant.”
