Akshay Kumar starrer Prithviraj is now Samrat Prithviraj

Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film Prithviraj has been making headlines for multiple reasons. One of the reasons is that Karni Sena had opposed to the title of the film and had asked the makers to change it. Now, the makers have announced that the film’s title has been changed to ‘Samrat Prithviraj’. Yes, Akshay Kumar starrer is now ‘Samrat Prithviraj’.

The letter issued by Yash Raj Films read, “We sincerely appreciate your effort in alerting us about your grievance in relation to the current title of the Film, and assure you that we did not, and do not, intend to hurt the sentiments of any person(s) or disrespect the late king and warrior, Prithviraj Chauhan. In fact, we wish to celebrate his bravery, achievements and contributions to our nation’s history, through this Film.”
