Yash Raj Films Changes The Title of Akshay Kumar's Prithviraj To Samrat Prithviraj

Mumbai, May 27 - Yash Raj Films has agreed to change the title of Akshay Kumar-fronted magnum opus, Prithviraj to Samrat Prithviraj. The decision of changing the title is taken after Karni Sena objected to it and decided to not let the movie screen.

The producers have reportedly written a letter to the national president, youth president, and the Maharashtra president of the Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena on Friday to convey their decision that the film has now been titled Samrat Prithviraj.



It is reported that Karni Sena has no objection to the story of the film and had reportedly given a green signal after watching it. However, they asked Yash Raj Films to change the title of Prithviraj and add 'Samrat' to it, to which YRF has agreed.

Written and directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, Samrat Prithviraj is based on Prithviraj Raso, a Braj language epic poem about the life of Prithviraj Chauhan, a Rajput king from the Chahamana dynasty. Akshay plays the title role while Manushi Chhillar makes her Hindi film debut playing the role of Sanyogita. It also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, Manav Vij, Ashutosh Rana, and Sakshi Tanwar as other important characters.

Samrat Prithviraj is scheduled to release on June 3rd in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
