Abhinav Kumar The makers of Chakravarti Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan have spared no effort in assembling a cast that perfectly fits each character.

Abhinav shares, 'I will be playing Subahu, the right-hand man (wazeer) of Ronit Roy, who portrays Someshwar, the father of Prithviraj Chauhan.' Having previously worked on Kashibai Bajirao Ballal, he is familiar with the demands of historical shows. He says, 'I played Abha Pant Naik Joshi, the brother-in-law of Bajirao. I also completed shooting for 1857 Diary: The Hidden Pages, a historical film set to release this year. So, this show marks my third project in the historical genre. We are shooting in Aamgaon.' However, filming a historical show comes with its own set of challenges. He explains, 'It's very challenging, especially because of the heat, which becomes even more difficult with the heavy, elaborate costumes. We also have to be very careful with our makeup. The turban can cause headaches, and above all, the biggest challenge is memorising lines and delivering dialogues perfectly, no matter the situation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Villas in Dubai | Search Ads Get Deals Undo I think that's the most challenging part.
