Akshay Kumar's Next Prithviraj Targeted By Karni Sena, The Film's Title Is The Issue
Akshay Kumar's Next Prithviraj Targeted By Karni Sena
Akshay Kumar starrer upcoming historical drama Prithviraj has now fallen on the Karni Sena’s radar. The organization which has in the past opposed the release of many films has now expressed concern over the title of the Yash Raj Film.
According to the Karni Sena Youth Wing President, Surjeet Singh Rathore the makers should use the full title of the historical figure and demanded that the title of the film be changed to Prithviraj Chauhan instead of being just Prithviraj as a show of respect, reports Times of India.
The demands don’t end there. The Sena also wants the film to be screened for them before its theatrical release. Singh also had a warning for the makers suggesting that if the organisation’s advice is not paid heed to then they could face the consequences like Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat.
Prithviraj also marks the debut of Manushi Chillar in Bollywood who will be seen playing Sankyuta in the film. The project went on floors in 2019 and is expected to arrive in theatres this Diwali on November 5 if all goes well.
The Karni Sena has previously raised objections against projects like Tandav, Padmaavat, Laxmii, Aashram among others. There has been no response from the makers of Prithviraj on Karni Sena’s objections yet.
