New Delhi: Akshay Kumar starrer 'Laxmii' has remained in limelight ever since the makers unveiled the trailer of the film on October 9. The horror comedy drama was earlier titled 'Laxmmi Bomb' but the makers decided to change the title after discussing with the Central Board of Film Certification. According to a report in Zoom, Shri Rajput Karni Sena, sent a legal notice to the producers, accusing them of 'hurting religious sentiments' by associating the word 'Bomb' with Hindu Goddess Laxmi.
