Another controversy strikes Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s period drama ‘Padmavati‘ just doesn’t get the time to breathe away from its controversies. Seems like trouble just keeps brewing and increasing day by day for this big venture. The latest controversy that has struck the movie is that President of Patel Navnirman Sena, Hardik Patel has alarmed to go on strike, if the movie is not stalled.

It so happened that Bhansali has plans of shooting the film in Gujarat and the Southern district of Mewar in Rajasthan. But, the locals there feel the film will sabotage the image of Rani Padmavati with unrealistic depiction of reality.

Patel quoted to a leading tabloid, “Rajasthan-based Rajput Sena’s members met me and informed that SLB has not studied the history, and could damage the image of Rani Padmavati. So, we’ve informed him to stop the production of the film and hold discussions with Rajput leaders before he begins shooting. Bhansali should give assurance of not damaging Rani Padmavati’s image, or else Patidar Navnirman Sena will hold protests against the movie across the country, and will not give permission for the film to release in Rajasthan. No director has the right to damage history for entertainment.”

Let’s wait to see what will be Bhansali’s reply on the movie which is said to be made on a lavish budget of Rs 180 crores.
