Recently, in a fun segment with Bollywood Bubble, Manushi replied to some of the fans’ questions. One of them asked why she chose Samrat Prithviraj as her debut film. To which she said, “I think a film like this chooses you, it’s not that you are not the only one choosing you know a film like this. More than that yes I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity of choosing another film at that time. But after listening to, that you are getting to work with Yash Raj Akshay Sir and Doctor Saab and after listening to narration from doctor Saab(Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi). The conviction with which he narrates the story, you’re already sold to the idea.”
