During the trailer launch event of the historical drama, the 54-year-old actor said he learned about the life and times of Prithviraj through the book “Prithviraj Raso” and realized how little people know about the ruler.

“I was given a book to read, ‘Prithviraj Raso’ by Dr Saab (Dwivedi). I read the book slowly and realized how big a warrior he was. But when we read about him in history, he was reduced to just a paragraph,” Kumar told reporters.
