‘Prithviraj’ faces backlash from Karni Sena
The Karni Sena is back in the spotlight and this time it is with Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Prithviraj’ which is based on the life of great king, Rajput Prithviraj Chauhan. The Rajput organisation has raised an objection around the title of the film. 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.”
The Karni Sena does not stop there they have other conditions too. They have demanded that film has to be screened for them before its release. Singh said, “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.”
Akshay Kumar had announced the project back in 2019, on his birthday. With a tweet Akshay had said, “Elated to share about my 1
st historical film on my birthday. Humbled to have the opportunity to play a hero I look upto for his valor and values – Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan in one of my biggest films ‘Prithviraj’.”
‘Prithviraj’ has Akshay Kumar playing the title role with Manushi Chillar as Samyukta, Prithviraj Chauhan’s wife. Directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi it is being produced by Aditya Chopra.
