Akshay
Kumar
and
Kiara
Advani-starrer
Laxmmi
Bomb
has
been
surrounded
by
controversies
since
its
trailer
release.
After
being
accused
of
supposedly
promoting
'love
jihad'
and
portraying
transgenders
in
a
negative
light,
the
makers
now
have
received
a
legal
notice
from
Shri
Rajput
Karni
Sena,
demanding
an
unconditional
apology.
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,

Gupta,
National
President
of

also
wrote
to

and
Broadcasting
Minister
Prakash
Javadekar
demanding

change
in

has
asserted
that

halls
if
their
demands
are
not
fulfilled.
