Before the release of the film Samrat Prithviraj, famous Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has raised questions about the study of history in the country. He said in one of his interviews that in the history we have been taught, very little has been told about our kings like Maharana Pratap and Prithviraj Chauhan. Akshay said that I would like to appeal to the Education Minister to look into this matter. We must balance. I do not say that we should not know about the Mughals, but we should also know about our kings. He was also great and this information should be shared by everyone. Children should know about Maharana Pratap.
Regarding Prithviraj Chauhan, he said that there are only two to three lines about him in our history books. Books have been written on invaders, but there are only 2 to 3 lines on our own kings. Not only this, due to this he also answered the question of his own going to Somnath and Kashi Vishwanath. Akshay Kumar said that I did not go here for Hindutva but because of cultural heritage. Akshay Kumar said, 'I went because Prithviraj has a relationship with him. I went not because of religious belief but because of culture. I went to tell people that this is our culture. Chandraprakash Dwivedi told me what is the relationship between Prithviraj Chauhan and Somnath and Kashi Vishwanath.
Due to this, filmmaker Chandra Prakash Dwivedi said that I do not consider cultural revival and reconstruction of temples wrong. He said that why did we go to Somnath and Varanasi? We know that the cultural capital of India is Varanasi. The Ganges and the Himalayas are the witnesses of our history, it is a matter of our spirit. There is a lot of debate going on in this country. That is why it was in my mind to remind people that for the first time the Kashi Vishwanath temple was demolished by Qutubuddin. Somnath is also mentioned in the film. Somnath was broken several times and the question before the people was whether it should be left just like that. But in 1947 many leaders including Sardar Patel, Kanhaiya Lal Munshi and Rajendra Prasad tried. The country remained a slave since 1192 and the country suffered a lot. Now it is the time when the resurrection should take place and the Somnath temple was built to symbolize it.
Not only Bollywood artists but people from the sports world also paid tribute to KK.
