Unnecessary” `Loveyatri` controversy |
Aayush Sharma is making his Bollywood film debut with `Loveyatri`, opposite fellow debutante Warina Hussain. Although producer and brother-in-law Salman Khan is going the extra mile to give the hunk the launch pad he needs to make it big in the industry, the film and the entire team came under fire for its original title `Loveratri`. The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) was irked by the title `Loveratri`, which according to them was distorting the meaning of Hindu festival, Navratri. Later, a Bihar court had ordered an FIR to be lodged against Salman, saying the title hurts religious sentiments and promotes vulgarity. Post this, the makers changed the title to `Loveyatri`. Aayush said that his film is a celebration of love and culture and that it was painful to do away with the original. “Our intention was very clear. We wanted a film that connects with most people. There was an unnecessary conversation and objection happening over it,” he said in a statement.He went on to assure that his film will not hurt anyone`s sentiments and that there is not one “double meaning dialogue” and that he didn`t think getting controversy or adding tension would work in his favour. `Loveyatri` is set to hit theatres on 5 October.
