Akshay Kumar shared new posters of his upcoming project Mission Raniganj: The Great Bharat Rescue, for which he is being massively trolled. Akshay Kumar's film was previously titled Mission Raniganj: The Great Indian Rescue. The film's title change comes amid the ongoing controversy over the India to Bharat renaming buzz. It began with President Droupadi Murmu's dinner invite to G20 delegates that read "President of Bharat" instead of India. The Internet has been divided since then and Akshay Kumar's film title change just contributed to the ongoing row.X (earlier called Twitter) users posted screenshots of the previous posters that were posted by Akshay Kumar (now been deleted), which had the word India instead of Bharat. A section of the Internet questioned the existence of Akshay Kumar's previous tweet pertaining to the film, in which the term India was used instead of Bharat. "Ye tweet kahan gaya (Where did this tweet go)?" a user asked. Another user resorted to humour and shared a still from Mr Kumar's Bhagam Bhag, which is also a popular meme template. "Bharat," the user simply wrote adding the meme.
