Dr. Dwivedi’s 2022 historical saga, *Samrat Prithviraj*, promised grandeur but delivered disappointment. Starring Akshay Kumar and debutante Manushi Chhillar, the YRF production faced massive controversy and title shifts.

- **Budget:** ₹300 crore
- **Revenue:** ~₹90 crore
- **Verdict:** A colossal commercial failure.

Despite the high-stakes ambition, the film’s execution failed to capture audiences, marking a dark chapter for Bollywood’s historical epics.
