The historical epic Samrat Prithviraj, which stars Akshay Kumar in the titular role, has been banned in Kuwait and Oman. 
 
The film tells the story of king Prithviraj Chauhan, who fought against invader Muhammad of Ghor. 
 
A senior trade source on conditions of anonymity said, "It is highly unfortunate that a film that is based on our glorious Hindu Samrat Prithviraj's life and courage has been banned in some international markets like Kuwait and Oman.”

Samrat Prithviraj, which has been directed by Chandraprakash Dwivedi, also marks the cinematic debut of Manushi Chhillar, who plays the role of Sanyogita.

The film is set to release on June 3 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
