 Prithviraj is one of the most awaited films of the year. Recently, at the trailer launch event of the period drama, Akshay Kumar was asked about the birthplace of the king. Akshay's epic response to the question won the hearts of millions of his fans.

The reporter asked, “Where was Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan from- Gujarat or Rajasthan?”. To this, Akshay said that what matters is he is from India. The Kesari actor stated-

 “I think Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan was from Hindustan. He was from Hindustan, and I will only say that these things don’t matter, he was from Hindustan no matter where he lived, he was the son of Bharat Mata and that is more important than anything. After seeing Britishers divide and rule on us, at least now, we should now understand. Let’s leave the question about where he was from, how he was, the most important thing is that he was from our country and that is enough”
