Karni Sena stops Akshay Kumar’s Prithviraj shooting, here’s why

The controversy over the films doesn’t gets end. It’s not been long when many Rajput Karni Sena members protest against Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat. The film was accused of distorting the historical facts by the protesting groups.

Well, now the fringe group of Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena staged a protest on the sets of Hindi film Prithviraj, that features Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chhillar.

Akshay Kumar along with director Chandra Prakash and the entire team of Prithviraj was busy shooting a schedule in Jamwaramgarh village, near Jaipur on Saturday. The entire bunch of protestors came to the set location and stalled the shoot of the film.

Akshay was not present at the shoot but Dr. Chandra Prakash Dwivedi assured Karni Sena members that no facts have been distorted in the film. The outfit demanded written assurance and also said that they can’t show Prithiviraj as a lover in the film.

“We held discussions with the director, Chandra Prakash, regarding the film’s script today. We told him that no tampering with historic facts will be tolerated,” Makrana said on Monday.

“Prithviraj Chauhan should not be portrayed as a lover in the film. The director has assured us that there is no such thing in the movie but we want a written assurance,” he said.
