Getting a Diwali release for your debut film is indeed a matter of great pride and Manushi is super excited about it. Ahead of Manushi’s debut, fans are busy drawing a parallel between her and Deepika Padukone’s career. Both of them have a modelling background and even Deepika’s debut film Om Shanti Om had hit the marquee during Diwali.

Sharing her thoughts on these comparisons, Manushi said, “When you say that I’m getting a Diwali debut similar to the debut Deepika Padukone got with Om Shanti Om, I can only consider myself fortunate. Deepika is someone many girls look up to and is an inspiration to many. Honestly, I’m not over-burdening myself with the expectations. I want to enjoy the release of my first film and I want this process to be etched in my mind forever. So, I wish to cherish every step of the way.” In this historical action-drama, Akshay will be essaying the role of the warrior, Prithviraj Chauhan and Manushi will be playing the role of Sanyogita.

Interestingly, Manushi’s debut film will be clashing with Shahid Kapoor starrer Jersey at the box-office.
