The problem for Padmavati is not looking to cool down. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus has been facing the wrath of Rajput groups for a very long time. Some Rajput groups have been objecting to the film ever since it was announced. The self-proclaimed guardians of the Rajput community, Shri Rajput Karni Sena has created lots of chaos and has issued several threatening statements. Karni Sena has accused SLB of “distorting historical facts” even before watching the film.
In a shocking turn of event, Karni Sena has threatened to physically harm actress Deepika Padukone and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. If that was not enough, the group has also announced a prize of Rs. 5 Crore to anyone, who will chop off Deepika’s nose and beheads filmmaker Bhansali.
Karni Sena is adamant that they will not let Padmavati release on 1st December. According to the report of leading news channel, a member of the group said, ” We will cut off Deepika Padukone’s nose,”
Karni Sena is not the only group opposing the release of the upcoming period film ‘Padmavati’. Several communities, political leaders and royal families like the Mewar Royals, the Ajmer Dargah Deewan, and the Chattisgarh Royal have opposed the release of Padmavati. However, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has maintained that the movie has no objectionable scenes and his film is a tribute to the sacrifice and valor of Rani Padmini. He has said on multiple occasions that there are no scenes that would hurt the sentiments of anyone.
In order to provide total security to Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the Maharashtra Government has given high-security cover to the acclaimed director.
Padmavati is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Bhansali has made this film with lots of passion and hard work. We hope everything gets normal and the film releases on its scheduled date without any problem.
