I have some video file embedded with the project, that to be opened in the native video player using Xamarin forms.

Note: Having in-app video player is limited here.

Any idea for this?

Sorry for late, you could refer to FormsNativeVideoPlayer. When you load your video file from Raw folder, you just need to modify the VideoPlayer_CustomRenderer code like this :

protected override void OnElementChanged (ElementChangedEventArgs<Xamarin.Forms.View> e)
{
    base.OnElementChanged (e);

    ...

    string uriPath = "android.resource://" + Forms.Context.PackageName + "/" + Resource.Raw.audio;
    var uri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse((uriPath));

    //Set the videoView with our uri, this could also be a local video on device
    videoView.SetVideoURI (uri);

    ...
 }
