Padmavati: Shatrughan Sinha questions SRK, Aamir and Big B’s silence on the issue

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’ has been pushed to another date, thanks to the protest going on against the film. Karni Sena has been on its toes revolting against the film and are violently keeping up with their stance. Amidst all the hullabaloo, one wonders how the A-list stars as well as top Government officials are observing a silence over this issue. The protesters have openly threatened Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Leela Bhansali and have announced bounty for those who behead these two. In such a case, one surely has questions the law and order of the country. Well, veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha holds similar thoughts.

He took to Twitter to question the silence of Big stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan as well as the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. Asserting that it is high time that we speak up, Shatrughan Singa tweeted, “As Padmavati becomes a burning controversy, people are asking why the legendary @SrBachchan, most versatile @aamir_khan & most popular @iamsrk have no comments..& how come our I&B Minister or our most popular Hon’ble PM (according to PEW) are maintaining stoic silence. High time!.”

Further he shared his thoughts on the controversy and stated that he will speak up on the issue once SLB speaks up. (Also Read: Dear Sanjay Leela Bhansali, no more clarifications PLEASE!)

As for me, I would & should speak on Padmavati issue only after the "great filmmaker, producer S.L.Bhansali" speaks up. I speak only when I am spoken to & I will speak keeping in mind the interests of the filmmaker as well as the sensitivity, valour, loyalty of the great Rajputs.

‘Padmavati’ was slated to release on December 1, 2017 but now it has been pushed to some other date. Official announcement of the release date is yet to be made.
