After
Shree
Rajput
Karni
Sena
raised
concern
over
the
title
of
Akshay
Kumar's
upcoming
film
Prithviraj,
Surjit
Singh
the
President
of
Sanatan
Sena
has
filed
a
complaint
against
Yash
Raj
Films'
Aditya
Chopra,
writer
Chandra
Prakash
Dwivedi,
Akshay
Kumar
and
others
associated
with
the
film.
According
to
the
complaint,
Surjit
Singh
has
claimed
that
"titling
the
movie
as
Prithviraj",
can
hurt
the
religious
and
social
sentiments
of
every
Indian
who
believes
in
Indian
culture.
Any
such
act
by
you
will
lead
to
religious
and
social
unrest
in
the
society
which
will
hamper
peace
and
harmony."
According
to
PTI,
Karni
Sena
also
wants
that
the
title
of
the
Yash
Raj
Films'
historical
drama
should
reflect
the
greatness
of
the
last
Hindu
emperor
Prithviraj
Chauhan.
They
claimed
that
naming
it
just
"Prithviraj" does
"injustice
with
his
glory".

Mahipal
Singh
Makrana,
national
president
of
Shree
Rajput
Karni
Sena,
told
PTI,
"The
filmmakers
have
made
the
film
on
the
great
king
Prithviraj
Chauhan
who
was
the
last
Hindu
emperor
and
a
great
Rajput
king.
How
can
the
name
of
the
film
be
kept
just
Prithviraj?
The
title
should
have
the
full
name."
In
March
last
year,
Karni
Sena
members,
led
by
Makrana,
reportedly
had
also
disrupted
the
shooting
of
Prithiviraj
on
the
outskirts
of
Jaipur.
Makrana
added
that
filmmakers
should
give
due
respect
to
historic
personalities
when
they
make
biopics.
"Our
ancestors
made
history
by
sacrificing
their
lives.
It
is
history
for
us
and
business
for
the
filmmakers.
History
is
made
to
protect
the
culture
and
not
for
doing
business
and
earning
profits," he
added.
"Since
the
movie
is
based
on
Prithviraj
Chauhan,
we
wanted
to
go
through
the
script
to
make
sure
that
there
is
no
distortion
of
historic
facts
in
the
movie
and
the
director
had
assured
us
that
the
script
will
be
provided
but
nothing
happened
after
that.
At
that
time,
the
director
did
not
disclose
the
title
of
the
movie.
Now,
it
is
clear
that
the
title
is
just
Prithiviraj
which
is
injustice
with
the
glory
of
the
king,"
he
said.
The
Karni
Sena
leader
said
they
will
plan
a
protest
if
the
title
of
the
film
is
not
changed
or
if
they
find
any
distortion
of
historic
facts
in
the
movie.
Notably,
Prithviraj
starring
Manushi
Chhillar
was
supposed
to
release
in
November
2021,
but
had
to
be
pushed
back
due
to
the
pandemic.
