Even before its release, Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani starrer Laxmmi Bomb has landed into trouble. Ever since the trailer of the film was dropped online, the superstar has been trolled for allegedly promoting 'love jihad.' The National President Of Hindu Sena on social media released an official statement and said that the organisation was launching a formal complaint against the film. Hindu Sena has written a letter to Prakash Javadekar, the Minister of Information and Broadcasting demanding the title to be changed. In their letter, Hindu Sena called the film "derogatory" and "offensive”.
The National President Of Hindu Sena took to Twitter to post the letter and Tweeted, “Hindu Sena has given a complaint letter @PrakashJavdekar to take appropriate action against the promoters, cast and crew of the upcoming movie "Laxmmi Bomb" starring @akshaykumar and directed by Shri Raghava Lawrence for making a mockery of Hindu Goddess Laxmi's name, @ANI.”
The letter read, "If our demand is not fulfilled, all my Hindu Sainiks shall protest against this movie outside every Cinema hall where this movie may be screened across the nation. I request everyone belonging to the Hindu community to boycott the movie if the movie title is not changed before the release.”

“The name of the movie is highly derogatory and offensive in nature, the name of Hindu Goddess Laxmi, the goddess of fortune and wealth has been used in the movie title along with the word Bomb which is unacceptable to the Hindu community. In the said name of the movie Bomb word has been used to provoke the Hindu community,” added Hindu Sena.
