Padmavati: Shahid receives backlash on Instagram as he posts a new song

Shahid Kapoor recently uploaded a new song ‘Ek Dil Ek Jaan’ from ‘Padmavati’ on his Instagram account. The song showcases love between Rani Padmavati and Raja Maharawal Singh. The song is a visual delight and everyone is going gaga over the romantic number. But then, there are some who are still stuck on calling a ban for this film.

We know that ‘Padmavati’ film is mired in a controversy with Rajput Sena. The organisations hailing and protecting the honour of Rajputana history are calling for a ban on this film as they believe that Sanjay Leela Bhansali has maligned the image of their beloved Queen Padmavati by showing her romancing Alauddin Khilji in a dreamy scene. Even though SLB has clarified numerous times that there is no scene as such, people refrain from believing him. (Also Read: Dear Sanjay Leela Bhansali, no more clarifications PLEASE!)

So on Shahid’s Instagram post, we can see people calling a ban on this film. Even threats are given out that cinema halls would be burnt if the film makes it to the theatres.

We wonder when will this controversy come to a halt.
