Sanjay Leela Bhansali writes to CBFC


As per TV reports, Sanjay Leela Bhansali has written to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) asking the body to expedite the process and hold a pre-screening show at the earliest to clear the air regarding allegations of fact distortion in his upcoming period drama Padmav

As per reports by News 18, Maharashtra goverment is backing the release of Padmavati


Full security to theatres showing Padmavati in Maharastra, says State Home Minister Ranjit Patil.
Padmavati has been facing a lot of trouble since early this year. Bhansali was assaulted by activists of a Rajput community group, Karni Sena, while shooting in Jaipur and Kolhapur. And now, ever since the trailer and a few songs have released, the outrage against the film has been non-stop.
The Shri Rajput Karni Sena on Wednesday called for a nationwide bandh on 1  December against the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Padmavati, which finds itself mired in a controversy.
The founder of the organisation Lokendra Singh Kalvi said that not only the Rajput community or Hindu organisations but even Muslim leaders had come out against the film, against which there was resentment across the country.
He demanded that Prime Minister Narendra Modi intervene in the issue saying that the central government had the powers, as per the provisions of the Cinematograph Act, to stop the release of a film for three months.
"We are calling for a country-wide bandh on 1 December if the film is released. We have the support of all castes and communities. We will hold public meetings and rallies in Gurgaon, Patna, and Bhopal before that," Kalvi told reporters.That provision should be invoked in case of Padmavati which is slated to be released on 1 December, he said.
Kalvi said that the statement by actress Deepika Padukone, who plays the legendary queen in the movie, that nothing can stop the release of the film was "provocative".
No effort to tarnish the image of "Rani Padmavati" will be tolerated, he said.
Padmavati stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Aditi Rao Hydari and Jim Sarbh. It is co-produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Bhansali Productions. It is slated to release on 1 December.
