Laxmmi Bomb: Makers receive legal notice for using ‘offensive and derogatory’ film title

Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb receives a legal notice from Shri Rajput Karni Sena as they demand the makers to change the title of the movie

Akshay Kumar‘s movie, Laxmmi Bomb, has been receiving a lot of hate and opposition ever since the trailer has been released. In the recent updates, the makers of the movie have received a legal notice from the advocate of Shri Rajput Karni Sena, who are demanding the makers to change the title of the movie.

As per the reports by Zoom TV, the legal notice was sent by advocate Raghavendra Mehrotra, representing Shri Rajput Karni Sena and the notice says that Laxmmi Bomb is being considered as ‘offensive and derogatory’ to Goddess Laxmmi. The legal notice also says that the title “Laxmmi Bomb” has been chosen deliberately by the makers to show ‘disrespect’ and lower the ‘dignity’ of the goddess. The notice also adds that the title sends a false message on a very large scale to the society about the “ideology, customs, gods and goddesses of Hindu religion.”

Laxmmi Bomb is the Hindi remake of a Tamil hit movie, Muni 2: Kanchana, which starred Raghava Lawrence. Akshay Kumar is to be seen in a sari in the movie and while sharing the experience with comedian Maniesh Paul, he was quoted saying, “In one word, sari is the most graceful outfit in the world. Wearing a sari has been one of a kind experience for me. Frankly speaking, donning a sari is very difficult. During the initial days of the shoot, my sari would often unwrap by itself while shooting. I wasn’t able to move properly while being in a sari, forget about dancing and fighting in it. Thanks to my costume designer who would come to my rescue in every break to rearrange the plaits and balance the pallu.”

Laxmmi Bomb, starring Akshay and Kiara Advani in the lead, is scheduled to release on 9th November on Disney Hotstar. In the film, Akshay’s character is possessed by a ghost of a transgender person.
