Samrat Prithviraj, starring Akshay Kumar, is due to hit theaters on June 3rd, and, like Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, advance booking has opened far earlier than usual. We witnessed how the makers of Akshay’s last release Bachchhan Paandey did not properly promote the film. As a result, not only prior booking but also opening day attendance was fewer than planned. This time, the producers are doing everything they can to stay in the headlines and raise as much awareness as possible about the period drama.
For those who are unaware, Samrat Prithviraj’s advance booking began day before yesterday. With four days remaining, including today, advance ticket sales are likely to bring in a sizable sum.
Because Samrat Prithviraj is one of the most anticipated Bollywood films of 2022, the film is expected to open with around 13 cr on its first day at the box office.

The film stars Akshay Kumar, Manushi Chillar, Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, and Manav Vij and is directed by Chandanprakash Dwivedi. Ashutosh Rana and Sakshi Tanwar both appear in supporting roles. Following court proceedings, the film was renamed ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ from its original title of ‘Prithviraj.’
