Akshay
Kumar's
upcoming
film
Laxmmi
Bomb
has
landed
in
a
controversy
over
its
title
prior
its
release.
Apparently,
the
film's
title
hasn't
gone
down
well
with
some
people
who
claimed
that
it
objectified
the
Hindu
Goddess
Laxmi.
Among
them
is
actor
Mukesh
Khanna.
After
hitting
the
headlines
for
taking
a
jibe
at
The
Kapil
Sharma
Show,
the
Shaktimaan
actor
is
back
in
the
news.
This
time,
he
has
taken
to
his
Instagram
page
to
call
out
the
makers
of
Laxmmi
Bomb
over
the
film's
title.
Khanna
shared
a
poster
of
the
Akshay
Kumar
starrer
and
penned
his
thoughts
on
this
controversy.
Mukesh
Bhatt
Reacts
To
People
Calling
For
A
Ban
On
Laxmmi
Bomb
Mukesh
Khanna
began
his
post
by
writing,
"Kya
Laxmi
Bomb
Title
se
koi
film
release
honi
chahiye
?
Is
par
poore
Desh
Me
Bahas
chidhi
hui
hai.
Kuch
log
film
ko
ban
karne
ki
maang
kar
rahe
hai.
Mujhse
poocho
to
film
ban
Jayez
naheen
hai.
Kyonki
kisi
ne
film
Abhi
dekhi
naheen
hai.
Sirf
trailer
dekha
hai.
Film
Abhi
baaki
hai."
(Do
you
think
a
film
titled
Laxmi
Bomb
should
be
released?
The
entire
nation
is
talking
about
it.
Some
people
are
calling
for
a
ban
on
the
film.
If
you
ask
me,
then
it's
not
fair
to
ban
the
movie
because
no
one
has
watched
it
yet.
People
have
just
seen
the
trailer.)
Mukesh
Khanna
Questions
The
Makers
Of
Laxmmi
Bomb
Speaking
about
the
row
over
the
film's
title,
the
actor
continued,
"So
TITLE
ki
hi
baat
karte
hain.
Laxmi
ke
aage
Bomb
jodna
shararat
se
bhara
lagta
hai.
Commercial
interest
ki
soch
lagta
hai.
Kya
ise
allow
karna
chahiye
?
Obviously
NAHEEN
!
Kya
aap
Allah
Bomb
ya
Badmash
Jesus
film
ka
naam
rakh
sakte
hain
?Obviously
NAHEEN
!!
To
Phir
Laxmi
Bomb
kaise
!!!"
(Let's
talk
about
its
title.
Adding
Bomb
in
front
of
Laxmi
looks
like
fun.
Perhaps
it's
done
for
commercial
purpose.
Should
this
be
allowed?
Of
course
no.
Can
you
name
a
film
Allah
Bomb
or
Badmash
Jesus?
Of
course
not.
They
why
Laxmi
Bomb?)
Mukesh
Khanna
Claims
The
Makers
Came
Up
With
Such
A
Title
For
Publicity
"Ye
DHRISHTATA
Filmy
log
is
liye
karte
hai
ki
Wo
janate
hain
ki
isme
shor
machega.
Log
chillayenge.
Phir
chup
ho
jayenge.
Lekin
lage
hathon
film
ka
Promotion
ho
jayega.
Film
to
release
honi
hi
hai.
Log
Toot
padenge
FIRST
DAY
theatre
par
dekhne
ke
liye
ki
Kya
hai
is
film
me
?
Kya
hai
film
ke
title
ka
matlab
??
Ye
hota
aaya
hai...Hota
rahega...
Ise
Rokna
padhega
!"
(These
people
use
such
tactics
for
publicity
around
their
films.
They
know
that
it
will
create
outrage,
but
it
will
die
down.
That
will
give
publicity
to
their
films.
The
film
will
release.
Will
people
go
to
theatres
on
the
first
day
to
see
its
content?
What
does
the
film's
title
mean?
It's
been
happening
and
will
continue
-
it
needs
to
stop!),"
Mukesh
wrote
in
his
post.
Mukesh
Khanna
Urges
The
Public
To
Take
Action
Against
Such
Things
He
further
added,
"Aur
ye
Janata
Janardan
Ya
PUBLIC
hi
kar
sakti
hai.
Ek
baat
to
saaf
hai.
In
commercial
logon
me
Hinduon
ka
Dar
ya
khouf
ratti
bhar
bhi
naheen
hai.
Wo
unhe
SAHISHNU
manate
hain.
Soft
target
samajhte
hain.
Unhe
pata
hai
kisi
aur
Dharam
ya
Samprdaay
se
ye
panga
lekar
ke
batao
TALWAREN
Nikal
aayengi.
TALWAREN
!!
Isliye
unko
lekar
film
ke
title
naheen
bante."
(Only
the
public
can
make
this
happen.
One
thing
is
clear,
these
commercial
people
don't
fear
Hindus.
They
consider
them
soft
targets.
They
know
that
if
they
target
any
other
religions
swords
drawn.
That's
why
their
God's
name
does
not
make
it
into
film
titles.)
"Lekin
films
me
४०
saal
beeta
kar
itna
to
Daave
ke
saath
kah
sakta
hoon
ki
har
Producer
apni
film
ko
HIT
dekhna
chahta
hai.
Is
liye
aise
paintare
laata
hai.
LAXMI
BOMB
unhi
me
se
Ek
hai.
DIFFUSE
karo
ise
!!!!"(
After
spending
40
years
in
the
industry
I
can
say
this
for
sure,
all
producers
want
their
films
to
be
hit.
That's
why
they
come
up
with
such
tactics.
It's
the
same
with
Laxmi
Bomb.
Diffuse
it!),"
Mukesh
concluded
his
post.
