<p>After stoking a controversy for its name, Akshay Kumar’s upcoming film ‘Laxxmi Bomb’ is now in fresh trouble. Days before the film’s release on an OTT platform, the makers have reportedly received a legal notice from the Shri Rajput Karni Sena demanding a change in title.</p>

<p>According to several reports, the legal notice was sent by advocate Raghavendra Mehrotra, on behalf of Shri Rajput Karni Sena. As per the notice, Laxmmi Bomb, was being considered “derogatory” and “offensive” to Goddess Laxmi by the Hindu community. It further claimed that the makers had “deliberately” used the title Laxmmi Bomb with the sole purpose of lowering the “dignity” of and to show “disrespect” towards the goddess. It added that the name sends out a wrong message to the society at large towards the “ideology, customs, gods and goddesses of Hindu religion”.</p>

<p>Earlier, Twitterati had asked for a ban on the film as they alleged that the film promotes Love Jihad and also because the name of the film resembles the name of Hindu Goddess Laxmi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>‘Laxmmi Bomb’, starring Akshay and Kiara Advani is scheduled to release on November 9 on Disney+ Hotstar. The film centres around Akshay’s character getting possessed by the ghost of a transgender person.</p>

<p>‘Laxmmi Bomb’ is the Hindi remake of Tamil hit ‘Muni 2: Kanchana’, of the Kanchana series, starring Raghava Lawrence. He also directed the series. The film will see Akshay wear a sari for the first time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talking about the sari experience earlier, Akshay Kumar said, “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.”</p>

Akshay Kumar's 'Laxxmi Bomb' pulled out of OTT for theatrical release?

<p>Actor Akshay Kumar on Monday said theatres have the "first birth right" over movies and though he's excited his upcoming 'Laxmmi Bomb' will stream digitally, he feels sad it couldn't release on the big screen.<br />
<br />
The horror-comedy is set to stream on Disney+Hotstar, bypassing a theatrical release as screens remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic.<br />
<br />
The streamer announced its slate of seven film which will have a direct-to-digital release, including Ajay Devgn's 'Bhuj: The Pride of India', Abhishek Bachchan starrer 'The Big Bull', and 'Sadak 2', featuring Alia Bhatt.<br />
<br />
In a virtual press conference, Akshay said OTT release was the only wise option in the current scenario.<br />
<br />
"To be honest, today I am excited for this platform. But yes, I'll say that I am also sad for theatres. After all, movies are theatres first birth right. But in the current situation, everyone's safety is of utmost priority.<br />
<br />
"Today with theatres being shut and people watching movies on OTT platforms, if I can make my fans happy by releasing film on Disney+Hotstar which is a big platform with a massive reach then I am glad," Akshay told reporters.<br />
<br />
'Laxmmi Bomb' would be the actor's first digital release in a career of nearly three decades.<br />
<br />
His 'Sooryavanshi' co-star and longtime friend, Devgn, said he was equally thrilled to see his patriotic drama 'Bhuj: The Pride of India' release on the platform.<br />
<br />
"First thing that you want when you make a film is that more and more people get to watch it. The base of Disney+Hotstar is so huge that when 'Bhuj' will come every person will try to watch the film, besides the fact that the film should be good. We have tried to make a good film," the actor told reporters.<br />
<br />
Adding to Akshay's comments, Uday Shankar, President, The Walt Disney Company APAC and Chairman, Star and Disney India, said no one but only fans of artistes have the right over films.<br />
<br />
"If anyone has birth right over films, it's the film goers and film fans. Fans of the actors, directors who want to see these films and it is our duty to show them films.<br />
<br />
"What's going to happen now is that our industry will grow bigger, be more successful, more people will be able to work, we will be able to produce more films. Theatres as well digital screens will survive and grow together with films."<br />
<br />
Shankar was of the view that a similar debate arose when TV first started airing films, with many fearing that people would stop going to cinema halls.<br />
<br />
"But that didn't happen. Cinema halls grew, more people started watching films, our screens grew, the economics of our films also grew.</p>

Actor Akshay Kumar on Monday said theatres have the "first birth right" over movies and though he's excited his upcoming 'Laxmmi Bomb' will stream digitally, he feels sad it couldn't release on the big screen.

Actor Akshay Kumar on Monday said theatres have the "first birth right" over movies and though he's excited his upcoming 'Laxmmi Bomb' will stream digitally, he feels sad it couldn't release on the big screen. The horror-comedy is set to stream on Disney+Hotstar, bypassing a theatrical release as screens remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. The streamer announced its slate of seven film which will have a direct-to-digital release, including Ajay Devgn's 'Bhuj: The Pride of India', Abhishek Bachchan starrer 'The Big Bull', and 'Sadak 2', featuring Alia Bhatt. In a virtual press conference, Akshay said OTT release was the only wise option in the current scenario. "To be honest, today I am excited for this platform. But yes, I'll say that I am also sad for theatres. After all, movies are theatres first birth right. But in the current situation, everyone's safety is of utmost priority. "Today with theatres being shut and people watching movies on OTT platforms, if I can make my fans happy by releasing film on Disney+Hotstar which is a big platform with a massive reach then I am glad," Akshay told reporters. 'Laxmmi Bomb' would be the actor's first digital release in a career of nearly three decades. His 'Sooryavanshi' co-star and longtime friend, Devgn, said he was equally thrilled to see his patriotic drama 'Bhuj: The Pride of India' release on the platform. "First thing that you want when you make a film is that more and more people get to watch it. The base of Disney+Hotstar is so huge that when 'Bhuj' will come every person will try to watch the film, besides the fact that the film should be good. We have tried to make a good film," the actor told reporters. Adding to Akshay's comments, Uday Shankar, President, The Walt Disney Company APAC and Chairman, Star and Disney India, said no one but only fans of artistes have the right over films. "If anyone has birth right over films, it's the film goers and film fans. Fans of the actors, directors who want to see these films and it is our duty to show them films. "What's going to happen now is that our industry will grow bigger, be more successful, more people will be able to work, we will be able to produce more films. Theatres as well digital screens will survive and grow together with films." Shankar was of the view that a similar debate arose when TV first started airing films, with many fearing that people would stop going to cinema halls. "But that didn't happen. Cinema halls grew, more people started watching films, our screens grew, the economics of our films also grew.

Sad for theatres, but fans' safety priority: Akshay Kumar on OTT release of 'Laxxmi Bomb'

<p>With theatres being shut for more than two months now in India and worldwide, big studios have been talking of digital releases for their films as lots of money ride on them. The first to go was Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana starrer <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/confirmed-ayushmann-khurrana-amitabh-bachchans-gulabo-sitabo-to-directly-release-on-prime-video-on-this-date-298566">‘Gulabo Sitabo’ that struck a deal with Amazon Prime</a> for a worldwide release on the streaming platform.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, Akshay Kumar starrer <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/laxmmi-bomb-first-look-dressed-in-a-saree-akshay-kumar-looks-fierce-253449">‘Laxxmi Bomb’</a> is said to have been taken up by another OTT entity for a whopping sum. According to a report in Pinkvilla, the horror-thriller of the actor will stream exclusively on Disney Hotstar.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As quoted in the report, a trade source said, "It's true that the film will now be premiering on Hot Star. Although there was a bit of disagreement initially, everyone is on the same page now. The movie will indeed be released online."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The source added that the makers are not announcing the news as “the team needs a month to prepare the project. A bit of post production work remains and they are waiting for the lockdown to get over. The producers have taken a joint decision on calling the most minimum number of people to get their film ready. So the film won't hit the OTT platforms at least till a month after the lockdown is lifted. So the release date isn't decided yet."</p>

<p>The source added, "Usually digital rights of a big film get sold at record prices of Rs 60-70 crore max. But since this film won't have a theatrical release and will be straightaway sold to digital, they have fetched a huge price. Laxmmi Bomb has been sold for a staggering Rs 125 crore. But while the number is huge considering digital rates, what one must not forget is that it had the potential of earning over 200 crore at the box office, despite a clash with Salman Khan's Radhe. So the total revenue that the team will make out of it, is much less." &nbsp;</p>

<p>Salman Khan’s Eid release ‘Radhe’ also had to postpone owing to the coronavirus pandemic. Several other films has decided to take the route of OTT.&nbsp;</p>
