As per a report in Zoom TV, the notice claimed that the title of the movie Laxmmi Bomb, is being considered "derogatory" and "offensive" towards Goddess Laxmi by the Hindu community. Advocate Raghavendra Mehrotra, on behalf of Shri Rajput Karni Sena has sent the legal notice, demanding an unconditional apology by the makers for hurting religious sentiments.
Notice Accuses Makers Of Deliberately Using The Title To Hurt Sentiments
The notice also accuses the makers of "deliberately" having used the title with the sole intention to lower the "dignity" and to show "disrespect" towards Goddess Laxmi, and that relating 'Laxmi' with 'Bomb' hurts the sentiments of the Hindu community. The notice further says that Laxmmi Bomb sends out a wrong message in the society at large towards the "ideology, customs, gods and goddesses of Hindu religion."
Hindu Sena Has Also Called For A Title Change
Besides Karni Sena, Vishnu Gupta, National President of Hindu Sena also wrote to Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar demanding a change in the title. Hindu Sena has asserted that Hindu Sainiks will protest outside cinema halls if their demands are not fulfilled.
