Akshay’s character is named Asif and Kiara Advani’s character is named Priya. On the basis of these names, people judged that the movie is promoting interfaith marriage and called for its ban.
Days after Laxmmi Bomb was trolled for allegedly promoting ‘love jihad,’ the Akshay Kumar-starrer has once again come under fire. On 20 October, Vishnu Gupta, the founder and National President of Hindu Sena, took to Twitter to announce that the organisation was launching a formal complaint against the film. Hindu Sena has objected to the film’s title, calling it “derogatory” and “offensive.”
