NEW DELHI: The Gujjars in Rajasthan have threatened to stop the screening of Bollywood flick 'Prithviraj' starring Akshay Kumar if the movie continues using the term 'Rajput' for Prithviraj Chauhan.
The community claimed that Prithviraj was from the Gurjar community and was not a Rajput. However leaders from the Rajput community have strongly rejected their claim and said that Gurjars were initially gauchar, who then converted into Gujjar and then Gurjars. They basically come from Gujarat and hence got this name, claimed Shri Rajput Karni Sena national spokesperson Vijendra Singh Shaktawat.
