The title of Akshay Kumar's upcoming film Laxmmi Bomb has been changed after reports surfaced that the makers had received a legal notice from Shri Rajput Karni Sena. The new title of the film is reported to be Laxmii. The film, directed by Raghava Lawrence, premieres on Disney+Hotstar on November 9. It stars Kiara Advani as the female lead.
Taran Adarsh shared the news of Laxmmi Bomb title change on Twitter and wrote, "NEW DEVELOPMENT... #LaxmmiBomb title changed... New title:
#Laxmii... Premieres 9 Nov 2020 on #DisneyPlusHotstarVIP... Stars #AkshayKumar and #KiaraAdvani (sic)."
It was reported earlier that a legal notice was sent to the makers of the film on behalf of Shri Rajput Karni Sena. According to the notice, the film's title was considered to be disrespectful to Goddess Laxmi, thereby hurting Hindu community's sentiments. The notice also demanded a change in the film's title and said that the current one sends out a wrong message to the society.
