Sanjay Leela Bhansali attacked in Jaipur on the sets of Padmavati

Activists from a local organisation attacked ‘Padmavati’ director Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the sets of his film in Jaipur, Rajasthan. There are reports that the filmmaker was slapped, abused and the activists also tore his clothes.

Members of Karni Sena stalled the shooting of film at the Jaigarh fort. They’re unhappy with Sanjay for allegedly distorting historical facts in the movie.

“The film is presenting wrong information about Padmavati. Our basic protest is about distortion of historic facts which will not be tolerated” Vikram Singh, a Karni Sena activist said.

The Sanjay Leela Bhansali film stars Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmavati. Ranveer Singh plays the role of Alauddin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor is Ratan Singh.

Bhansali last directed the super-hit film ‘Bajirao Mastani’ which released during Christmas in 2015.

‘Padmavati’ is scheduled to hit theatres in November this year.
