Sources close to the development share, "Taking into consideration the concerns from the Censor Board and sensitivity of Karni Sena towards the title of the film, the makers decided to release the film as LoveYatri." Further adding, "Producer Salman Khan decided to opt for a change in title considering the safety and best interest of his audience."

"This is not a spelling mistake," Salman Khan tweeted along with the new poster of the film. 

The decision comes in the wake of a PIL that was filed against the film's team for allegedly hurting the sentiments of Hindus. Bihar's Muzaffarpur Civil Court had also lodged an FIR against actor Salman Khan, Aayush Sharma, Warina Hussain and 7 others, claiming that the romantic movie is being released around the auspicious festival of Navratri for hurting the sentiments of Hindus. 

While reacting to the PIL, Salman had earlier said,"We are making the film with Navaratri in the backdrop. We have made this beautiful film celebrating the music, colour, love and the fun of festive season. We don't need any publicity like that. Once the film is released those people will know there is nothing".
