Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, with now a
Brahmin organisation, Sarv Brahmin
Mahasabha, deciding to oppose release of
his magnum opus.
In a statement, Suersh Mishra, state
president of Sarv Brahmin Mahasabha said
that they will not tolerate "distortion of
historical facts at any cost.
The Sri Rajput Karni Sena, an organization
of Rajput community, has already opposed
release of the film on December 1 on the
same grounds.
Mishra said: "As per the feelings of the
general public, screening of this movie
should be stopped otherwise the Sarv
Brahmin Mahasabha will oppose this
movie.
After BJP, Brahmin Organisation Oppose
The Release Of Padmavati
He said, "They (Bhansali's team) are trying
to defame Padmavati by distorting historical
facts. No one can tolerate this.
The film has been steeped in trouble since
shooting began. In January, activists of the
Sri Rajput Karni Sena had protested,
manhandled and misbehaved with the crew
of Padmavati claiming that Bhansali was
distorting historical facts in the movie.
They had also damaged some cameras and
other types of equipment. Bhansali had to
stop shooting.
