Report states that Manushi has auditioned multiple times for this role, as the casting team of the film wanted to be dead sure before locking the actress for playing Sanyogita on screen. As Sanyogita was an incredibly beautiful strong and confident girl, thus they were in search for someone who could match her magnetic persona. Manushi is said to be rehearsing six days a week since her casting and has been groomed for the last 9 months by Yash Raj Films.

This period drama is based on the life and heroism of the fearless king Prithviraj Chauhan, who played an important part in the Indian history. Directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, who is well known for directing the epic television series Chanakya. This film is bankrolled by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films, which is all set to hit the screens on Diwali 2020.
