Salman Khan’s latest production, ‘Loveratri‘ that marks the debut of his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma and newcomer Warina Hussain ran into trouble owing to its title which had apparently hurt Hindu sentiments. Now the ‘Dabangg’ Khan has changed the title of the film to ‘LoveYatri’ to ensure that there are no more protests and the film releases without any controversy.

On September 12, news agency ANI had also tweeted that orders have been given to file an FIR against Salman Khan and 7 other actors after a complaint was filed by an advocate against him and his production ‘Loveratri’ alleging that the title of the film hurt Hindu sentiments.
