Kirna Sena Protest Against Akshay Kumar’s “Prithviraj”

Akshay Kumar's ambitious project Prithviraj has received the threat from Kiran Sena overs its title. It was not the first time the organization has taken umbrage over the movies. 

The Shree Rajput Karni Sena has turned its attention towards the upcoming Akshay Kumar’s “Prithviraj” and is demanding that the title be changed. The YRF film is a biopic on emperor Prithviraj Chauhan and is directed by Chandraparaksh Dwivedi. Filmmaker Surjeet Singh Rathore, president of the Youth Wing of the Karni Sena has put up three conditions for the film. It even warned that if Akshay and Aditya Chopra do not accept their demand, they will face a situation similar to Sanjay Leela Bhansali during Padmaavat.

Karni Sena has three conditions, which included, ‘screening of the film before its release, ‘the film be shown to the Rajput society’, and the ‘title of the film to have the full name - Veer Yoddha Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan’.

Sharing clippings on his Instagram page, Rathore wrote in Hindi that the organization respects Akshay Kumar. He added that the producer Aditya Chopra should respect the last ‘Hindu Samrat’ and use his name with due respect. He warned that otherwise, consequences would be the same as they were during Padmaavat’s release. And that YRF would be responsible for all the losses.
