Padmavati rangoli: After Deepika Padukone's tweets to Smriti Irani, 5

After Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone
recently tweeted about how a Padmavati-
inspired rangoli was destroyed at a Surat
mall by miscreants, and demanded action on
it, five men have been arrested from Gujarat
in connection with the case on Thursday,
October 19. Four of the arrested are
members of the Rajput Karni Sena and one
belongs to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP).
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum
opus Padmavati has been facing problems
since the time it was announced. First, the
director was slapped by the members of
Rajput Karni Sena in Jaipur while shooting
for the film. Next, the sets of Padmavati in
Kolhapur near Mumbai were set on fire.
Thankfully, no casualties were reported. The
film's team has been threatened by these
so-called pro-Hindu groups with dire
consequences if they portrayed a love story
between Rani Padmini aka Padmavati
(played by Deepika Padukone) and Alauddin
Khilji (played by Ranveer Singh). Queen
Padmavati's husband Maharawal Ratan
Singh has been essayed by Shahid Kapoor in
the film.
The artist who had made the beautiful
Padmavati rangoli depicting Deepika
Padukone's face from the film's poster, had
first tweeted about how his work of art was
destroyed by a bunch of nearly 10 men. The
pictures went viral and Deepika Padukone
also took notice of the same, asking for
action to be taken against people who
oppose the freedom of expression. Deepika
had also tagged Information and
Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani on Twitter
and said, "this has to stop NOW & action
must be taken! @smritiirani".
Earlier in October at the World Economic
Forum in Delhi, Smriti Irani had assured
filmmaker Karan Johar that Padmavati will
not face any trouble on its release. She said,
"I am sure law and order will be under
control. The State government will ensure no
miscreants disrupt any kind of interaction or
display. I don't envisage any problem. If
there is any challenge, the State government
will meet it."
Padmavati stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid
Kapoor, Ranveer Singh and Aditi Rao Hydari,
among others. The movie releases on
December 1, 2017.

thank god they have been arrested, I get it that they did not file a complaint earlier as their aim was not to get in more controversy but to finish shooting the film first, but now as the film is finished, and no one will be under direct threat of physical harm to their lives, any more disruptions should be dealt with in a legalised manner so that the release goes on smoothly and not to give any goons any semblance of authority in a films release...

so happy hey got arrested. more power to Deepika and team Padmavati!
