"How can they keep the title of the film as just ¡®Prithviraj¡¯ when the film is based on the great Prithviraj Chauhan? We want the title to be changed to his full name and give respect to him," he was quoted as saying by TOI.
Furthermore, he warned the makers that if they fail to do so, they will have to bear dire consequences like Padmaavat.

"If they don¡¯t listen to our advice they will have to face the consequences. What happened to Sanjay Leela Bhansali during ¡®Padmaavat¡¯, the makers of this film will have to be prepared for it, too."
For the unversed, several threats were issued against Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone during the release of Padmaavat. From threatening to behead Bhansali and announcing a cash prize on whoever brings chopped nose of Padukone, the Rajput organisation had led several violent protests as well.
