After facing lots of backlash and friction from Shri Rajput Karni Sena, makers of Akshay Kumar's upcoming historical drama 'Prithviraj' have decided to change the title of this much awaited project. The film will now be called 'Samrat Prithviraj' as requested by the aforementioned organization. Production house Yash Raj Films, recently wrote an open letter to Karni Sena in which they agreed to change the film's title and thanked the organisation for pointing out the issue with previous title.

The letter read, "As per the multiple rounds of discussions between us, and to peacefully and amicably resolve the raised grievance, we will change the title to 'Samrat Prithviraj'. We are highly appreciative of the mutual agreement reached between us that you have no further objections with regards to our Film and that all other points raised by you earlier are no longer a point of contention between us. We thank Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena and its members for understanding our good intentions pertaining to the depiction of the great warrior in the film."

Starring Akshay Kumar, Manushi Chhillar, Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood and others, the film is set to release theatrically on 3rd of June.
