In a fresh turn of events, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’ has received threats from Jai Rajputana Sangh
Yes, while speaking to a leading tabloid, Bhanwar Singh Reta, founder of Jai Rajputana Sangh said, “We won’t tolerate any distortion of history and if any romantic relationship is shown between queen Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji, we will burn cinema halls screening the film. Our members are trained in handling a large array of weapons ranging from swords to AK 47 guns.”
He further added, “Our demand is that the filmmakers screen it to a panel of representatives from various Rajput organizations. We will only give them a go-ahead to release the film after we are satisfied that no scene insults queen Padmavati.”
A few months back, the sets of the film had already been vandalised on a couple of occasions and the filmmaker was assaulted by a group called Rajput Karni Sena.
