The historical drama Prithviraj, starring Akshay Kumar, has a new title. Karni Sena had demanded that the film be renamed Samrat Prithviraj. The producers reportedly informed the Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena's national president, youth president, and Maharashtra president that the film had been renamed Samrat Prithviraj in a letter dated Friday.
“As per the multiple rounds of discussions between us, and to peacefully and amicably resolve the raised grievance, we will change the title of the Film to “Samrat Prithviraj”. We are highly appreciative of the mutual agreement reached between us that you have no further objections with regards to our Film and that all other points raised by you earlier are no longer a point of contention between us. We thank Shri Rajput Karni Sena and its members for understanding our good intentions about the depiction of the great warrior in the Film. We are grateful to have your complete support, locally and globally, for the release of the Film and the assurances provided in your letter,” read a part of the letter written by YRF's CEO
The Karni Sena, which had expressed concern over the video, reportedly gave it a thumbs up after seeing it. They did, however, request a title change, requesting that 'Samrat' be added to the title. Prithviraj's producers have now agreed to Sena's request.
Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, and Ashutosh Rana will all appear in Samrat Prithviraj. The film is directed by Dr Chandraprakash Dwivedi and also features Manushi Chhillar, a former beauty contest winner. The film will hit theatres on June 3, 2022.
