After a lot of speculations and controversies, producers of the upcoming period drama Prithviraj have changed it’s title to Samrat Prithviraj. This has been done after the Karni Sena raised an objection. The producers of the film wrote letters to the various presidents of the Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena on Friday to finally convey their decision of altering the title. 

A part of the letter to Karni sena by YRF’s CEO read, “As per the multiple rounds of discussions between us, and to peacefully and amicably resolve the raised grievance, we will change the title of the Film 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 Rajput Karni Sena and its members for understanding our good intentions pertaining to the depiction of the great warrior in the Film. We are grateful to have your complete support, locally and globally, for release of the Film and for the assurances provided in your letter.” 

Samrat Prithviraj will mark the acting debut of former Ms World Manushi Chhillar and also stars Sanjay Dutt, Sonu Sood, Ashutosh Rana among others. It will hit theatres on 3rd June 2022.
