Bollywood star Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Prithviraj’ is going to release next month on June 3, 2022. Even before its release, the film seems to be surrounded by controversies. Earlier a Gurjar Mahasabha had claimed that Prithviraj Chauhan was not a Rajput but a Gurjar king. Now the Karni Sena, which calls itself the representative of Rajputs in the name of this film, has also flared up. The Karni Sena has demanded to change the name of the film from ‘Prithviraj’ to ‘Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan’. What did the spokesperson of Karni Sena say?
Speaking to our colleague ETimes, Karni Sena spokesperson Surjit Singh Rathod said, “We have already met Akshay Vidhani, CEO, Yash Raj Films and he has promised to change the name of the film. They are ready to accept our demand. However, no reply has been given by Yash Raj on this issue yet. Some sources in the film industry also say that they are yet to have any information about the name change of the film.
Said- ‘Prithviraj’ will not be released in Rajasthan
When Rathor was informed that there is no information about the name change of the film as of now, he said, ‘If they do not change the name of the film and stop the release of the film, then ‘Prithviraj’ will be released in Rajasthan. Will not release. Rathor further said, ‘We have already warned the theater owners of Rajasthan about this. If the name of the film is not changed then we will not allow the film to be shown in Rajasthan. However, the theater owners and distributors of Rajasthan are also not aware of the change of name of the film.
