After Karni Sena and Sanatan Sena, now Akhil Bhartiya Kshatriya Mahasabha has raised objection to the title of Akshay Kumar starrer Prithviraj. Here's all about the controversy.
In 2019, Akahsy Kumar had announced the title of his historical period drama Prithviraj. In the past couple of years, there haven't been any major updates on the movie.

"The insult of the great brave warrior Emperor Prithviraj Chauhan ji, who protected the nation and Hinduism, is an insult to every citizen of India. The title of Yash Raj produced film Prithviraj directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi is an insult to the great Hindu emperor. It is condemnable and insulting to not address such a great warrior and a brave son of India by his full name," said Shantanu Chauhan, youth wing head of the organization.
