Members of the outfit, led by its national president Mahipal Singh Makrana, staged a protest at the shooting of the film in Jaipur\u2019s Jamwaramgarh village, Saturday and asked the director, Chandra Prakash, to stop the shooting, OpIndia<\/a> has reported.<\/p>\n\n\n

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar’s historical flick ‘Prithviraj, which is scheduled to hit the big screens in November 2020 has run into\u00a0trouble\u00a0with Karni Sena, as they alleged that makers of the film tried to tamper the historical facts about the Indian warrior “Prithviraj Chauhan’.<\/p>\n\n\n

Earlier during the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat and Kangana Ranaut\u2019s Manikarnika, this type of controversy created a lot of buzz in bollywood. Karni Sena has reportedly disrupted the shooting of the film saying that \u2018no tampering of facts\u2019 will be tolerated.<\/p>\n\n\n

Members of the outfit<\/a>, led by its national president Mahipal Singh Makrana, staged a protest at the shooting of the film in Jaipur\u2019s Jamwaramgarh village, Saturday and asked the director, Chandra Prakash, to stop the shooting. Despite the assurance from the makers that the film\u2019s script does not tamper with any historic facts, the organisation was not convinced and have demanded a written assurance from the team.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cWe held discussions with the director, Chandra Prakash, regarding the film\u2019s script today. We told him that no tampering with historic facts will be tolerated,\u201d Makrana said on Monday. \u201cPrithviraj 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,\u201d he said.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Prior to this, Karni Sena had protested against Kangana Ranaut\u2019s Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi. They said that it had distorted history and will not let the film release unless their terms are met. Karni Sena expressed their dissatisfaction as they were reported that the film showed a relationship between Laxmibai and a British officer. They had also objected the scene where the queen danced to a special number, which is against tradition.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

Earlier Bollywood movie \u2018Padmaavat\u2019 had brought the Rajput Karni Sena to national prominence. The period drama set in the 14th-century had enraged the Rajput group as they said the film is \u201cdisrespecting the sentiments of the community\u201d. The controversy emerged basing on the picturisation of a dream sequence between Rani Padmini ans Allaudin Khilji. The Karni Sena were dissatisfied that the film was defaming the brave queen as in history the queen never met the Mughal king Khilji. <\/p>\n\n\n

Their agitation had forced its makers to change its name from\u00a0\u2018Padmavati\u2019\u00a0to\u00a0\u2018Padmaavat\u2019, as the film lacked true historical facts.<\/p>\n\n\n

In 2008, Asutosh Gowarikar\u2019s <\/a>period drama\u00a0Jodhaa Akbar, too, faced the\u00a0wrath\u00a0of the Senas. Alleging that the movie had distorted history, the activists claimed that the portrayal of Jodha Bai in the movie was not true to facts, Jodha Bai, a princess of Jodhpur, was not married to Akbar, they said.<\/p>\n\n\n

Eventually, the movie was not released in Rajasthan. The Sena leaders also urged the Rajput organisations in other states not to screen the movie.<\/p>\n\n\n

Prithviraj\u00a0is an upcoming 2020 Bollywood\u00a0Hindi\u00a0historical action drama\u00a0film, directed by\u00a0Chandraprakash Dwivedi\u00a0and produced by\u00a0Aditya Chopra\u00a0under his production house\u00a0Yash Raj Films. It is about the life of\u00a0Chahamana\u00a0king\u00a0Prithviraj Chauhan\u00a0and stars\u00a0Akshay Kumar\u00a0in the lead role of Chauhan, while\u00a0Manushi Chhillar\u00a0(in her film debut) plays his wife\u00a0Samyukta. The film was officially announced on 9 September 2019 and is scheduled to hit the theaters in India on 13 November 2020 during the\u00a0Diwali\u00a0festival.<\/p>\n\n\n
