Akshay Kumar’s Laxmmi Bomb Title is Now Laxmii Bomb; Potayto Potahto!

On Thursday, the makers of Akshay Kumar starrer Laxmmi Bomb had a Censor Board screening of their film after which it was mutually decided that the title should be tweaked considering the sentiments of those who have been hurt by it. The film, which is directed by Raghava Lawrence and produced by Shabinaa Khan, Tusshar Kapoor, and Akshay himself will now have an extra ‘i’ instead of the extra ‘m’. As reported by Hindustan Times, the makers have decided to title it as ‘Laxmii Bomb’ now. Also Read – This is How Tusshar Kapoor Deals With Demands to Boycott Laxmmi Bomb -Watch

The film is slated to hit Disney+Hotstar as the big Diwali release on November 9. Also featuring Kiara Advani, it is the story of a man who gets possessed by the ghost of a trans person. After the trailer hit the screens and went viral in no time, the makers received wide criticism from a section of people who thought that naming a trans person ‘Laxmi’ (which is the name of one of the goddesses in Hinduism) is insulting the religion and hurting the sentiments of those who follow the religion. The makers didn’t release any statement on the matter. Also Read – Kiara Advani Wears a Gharara Set Worth Rs 98,000 by Designer Arpita Mehta For Laxmmi Bomb Promotions – Yay or Nay?
