After
activists
of
Sri
Rajput
Karni
Sena
(SRKS)
held
protest
demonstrations
for
demanding
the
withdrawal
of
the
TV
serial
Jodhaa
Akbar,
producer
Ekta
Kapoor
today
said
that
the
show
would
be
amended
by
changing
its
name
and
character.
Ekta,
who
is
the
producer
of
the
Zee
TV
show,
flew
to
Jaipur
to
hold
talks
with
SRKS'
convener
Lokendra
Singh
Kalvi.
"We
are
committed
to
the
fact
that
no
caste,
community
or
religions
will
be
shown
in
bad
light
by
us.
We
can
not
stop
the
serial
Jodhaa
Akbar
as
Zee
is
also
a
party
to
it,
and
there
are
certain
contractual
obligations
among
ourselves
and
third
parties.
"As
a
producer
of
the
serial
we
will
consider
to
change
the
name
of
show
and
character's
name.
We
have
discussed
the
issue
with
SRKS
now,
if
their
(SRKS)
demand
is
not
met...I
openly
say
at
public
forum
that
there
would
be
no
Balaji's
involvement
in
the
said
TV
show
(Jodhaa
Akbar).
I
will
abide
my
decision
in
future
too.
If
I
have
hurt
any
religion
or
community
whether
Rajput
or
any
other
caste...
I
am
apologizing
for
it,
"
Kapoor
said.
SRKS
had
claimed
that
the
period
drama
had
"distorted"
the
history
of
the
Rajputs.
"The
character
Jodhaa,
as
depicted
in
the
serial,
had
never
existed
in
Rajput
history
of
Rajasthan
nor
with
Akbar,"
Kalvi
had
said.
Even
the
group
had
barred
the
release
of
Ekta's
upcoming
film
"Once
Upon
a
Time
in
Mumbaai
Dobara"
in
the
state
but
now
they
have
given
a
green
signal
to
it.
"After
a
meeting
with
the
Karni
Sena
chief
Kalvi,
it
is
decided
that
our
new
film
Once
Upon
a
Time
in
Mumbaai
Dobara
will
be
shown
in
Rajasthan's
theaters
forthwith,"
Ekta
said.
