Since its announcement, Akshay Kumar & Manushi Chhillar’s historical drama Prithviraj has become the talk-of-the-town.
Produced by Yash Raj Films, the movie has now landed into trouble it seems.
According to the latest ETimes report, Karni Sena has apparently raised objections over the title of Akshay & Manushi’s upcoming movie Prithviraj. Reportedly, the Rajput organization demanded to change the movie title ‘Prithviraj’ into the full name of the great king Rajput Prithviraj Chauhan, on whom the movie is based.
Filmmaker Surjeet Singh Rathore, President of the Youth Wing of the Karni Sena, said, “How can they keep the title of the film as just ‘Prithviraj’ when the film is based on the great Prithviraj Chauhan? We want the title to be changed to his full name and give respect to him.”
Not only that but, the Karni Sena also demanded that the movie has to be screened for them before its release to the public, otherwise they will have to face consequences, similar to what Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat faced.
Surjeet warns, “If they don’t listen to our advice, they will have to face the consequences. What happened to Sanjay Leela Bhansali during ‘Padmaavat’, the makers of this film will have to be prepared for it, too.”
However, the makers of Prithviraj and Akshay Kumar are yet to comment on this matter.
Directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, the movie is slated to hit theatres on November 5, 2021.
