Sanjay Leela Bhansali clarification on Padmavati Controversy

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s historical period drama Padmavati has been grabbing limelight lately for its controversial topic. It all started when Ranveer Singh (who is playing the role of Ala-ud-din Khilji) was caught up in an interview with a news daily, speaking about his intimate scene with Deepika Padukone (who plays the role of Rani Padmavati.) And this is when the  initial protest began in Jaipur. When SLB was busy shooting on the same in the Pink City, a mob of 40-50 members of Karni Sena (a political party in Jaipur) assaulted Bhansali and his crew over alleged distortion of facts in the movie.

Entire Bollywood roared on social media and supported the director. He also clarified on the same with an official statement, but nothing really worked out and Padmavati became the victim of one more incident in Kolhapur. After so many attacks, finally, SLB has come out with an official statement to clear the air of misconceptions.
