Bhumi Pednekar's Durgavati is now Durgamati: The Myth

The title of Bhumi Pednekar's upcoming film, Durgavati, which is presented by Akshay Kumar, has now been changed to Durgamati: The Myth.

Akshay unveiled a poster today with the new title of the film. While no official reason has yet been given for the change in title, this is the second film in recent months to see a name change. A few weeks ago, the Akshay Kumar-starrer Laxmmi Bomb was renamed Laxmii on the censor board's suggestion after a section of people said the original name of the film insulted Goddess Laxmi and Hinduism.

Durgamati: The Myth also stars Arshad Warsi, Jisshu Sengupta, Mahie Gill, and Karan Kapadia in pivotal roles. This film is directed by G Ashok, who also helmed the original Telugu film Bhaagamathie, headlined by Anushka. 

Durgamati: The Myth is set for an OTT release on December 11.
