Several Bollywood movies have faced controversies over their titles, leading filmmakers to make changes to avoid legal or political issues. Here are some prominent examples:

1. Padmaavat (2018)

Original Title: Padmavati

The film, based on the epic poem Padmavat, faced backlash from Rajput groups who believed it distorted historical facts about Queen Padmavati. To address the concerns, the title was changed to Padmaavat to clarify that the movie was inspired by the fictional poem, not historical events.

2. Billu (2009)

Original Title: Billu Barber

Barbers’ associations found the word “barber” offensive and protested against the title. To avoid further controversy, the makers dropped “Barber” from the title, and the film was simply released as Billu.

3. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013)

Original Title: Ram-Leela

Religious groups objected to the use of the term “Ram-Leela,” believing it associated the film with the Hindu religious play. To avoid offending sentiments, the title was altered to Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela
