Months after director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was attacked on the sets of Padmavati in Jaipur, the film's sets were vandalised and set on fire in Kolhapur on Tuesday night in a fresh case of vandalism. The film's sets were attacked at 10.30 pm on Tuesday and according to reports, animals were present on Padmavati sets when they were set on fire and a horse is said to be badly injured. None of the film's cast or crew was there at Kolhapur's Masai plateau on Tuesday night where the sets have been erected.
About 40 to 50 people reached the sets of the film armed with petrol bombs, stones and lathis. They allegedly fought off the bodyguards and bouncers who were present at the sets. The security was beefed at the sets in the light of Jaipur incident. Before setting the venue on fire, they also damaged the cars parked around the sets. After a complaint was filed on Wednesday, a few suspects have been taken into custody.
