★ Salman Khan reacts to Loveyatri controversy; says the title of the film is not offensive!
September 26, 2018
After a petition filed by certain section of people against the makers ofLoveratri, which included Salman Khan as well, in Muzzafarpur, the actor immediately made a decision to change the title to Loveyatri. For those of you who are unaware, few people were hurt by the initial title of the film as it rhymed with Navratri. Even after the title change, few extremists groups were unhappy as the new title, which is Loveyatri, sounded similar to Navratri. However, this time Salman and the makers did not give in to their demands.
And recently during a media interaction with Salman, when the actor was asked to comment on the fiasco, he reverted, "Yeh title nahi chahte?( They don't like the title?) We will change it. Agar sirf title se (film) chalti na toh sirf title lagake chor dete. The title is not offensive. The film is beautiful love story. But some people got offended. Even if a single person’s feelings are being hurt, why to do it? We are not making hate story. We are making love story. Bhushan makes hate story. Sohail said we are making the picture for pope. Itni clean film hai ki koi dekhna nahi chahta. They were harping about it, 'family film hai, clean film hai,' I said don’t rub it in. We should be progressive." (sic)
Directed by Abhiraj Minawala, Loveyatri will hit the silver screens on October 5. Aayush and Warina's film will lock horns with Ayushmann Khurrana and Radhika Apte's Andha Dhun.
