Production

Samrat Prithviraj is primarily based on Prithviraj Raso, a Braj language epic poem about the life of Prithviraj Chauhan, a king from the Chahamana dynasty. Chandraprakash Dwivedi had completed script for Prithviraj in 2010, and his first choice for Prithviraj's role was Sunny Deol, with Aishwarya Rai as Sanyogita.

In March 2019, Akshay Kumar confirmed that he had been persuaded to star as Prithviraj. The film's official announcement was made on Kumar's 52nd birthday (9 September 2019), with a motion poster released on social media.

It was rumoured before the announcement of the film that Sanjay Dutt would be joining a film with Akshay Kumar. In September 2019, after the announcement of the film, Dutt confirmed that he would be joining Prithviraj. Manav Vij was cast for the role Mohammed Ghori. In November 2019, Manushi Chhillar was confirmed to play the role of Sanyogita, Prithviraj's love interest, making her Bollywood debut and replacing Rai.

Principal photography commenced on 15 November 2019 with a puja ceremony in Jamwaramgarh, Jaipur, Rajasthan. A song was shot in January 2020, but filming was halted in March 2020 ordered by the Indian government, owing to the COVID-19 lockdown in India.

Ahead of the 2020 monsoon season, the sets created in Rajasthan were dismantled due to the high cost of maintenance. With no filming expected to take place before the monsoon season, the two sets erected in Dahisar – one of a palace and one of an arena made for an action sequence – were destroyed. Instead, an indoor set was decided to be set up for the resumption of filming.
