in the news for the longest time now. Rajput
Karni Sena members have demanded a
special screening prior to the release
on . Now, the latest
development is that SLB will be screening his
film to a special committee.
RP Singh, the national president of Akhand
Rajputana Seva Sangh, told a leading tabloid,
"I got a call from Mahavir Jain, who is the
mediator between Bhansali and the Rajput
Sanghatan, night. He put me on
a conference call with Shobha Sant [CEO,
Bhansali Productions]. She told me that they
were ready to show the movie to a team
before release. The screening will be held
sometime between ."
"A team that will include members of the
Rajput community, literati and historians will
be constituted by Rajyavardhan Rathore.
Once we see the film, we can convince
others that the film doesn't distort history in
any way. On the other hand, if we see a
misrepresentation, we can express our
reservations," added Singh.
According to reports that came a few days
back, it was said that Padmavati will not
release in Rajasthan. The State's Home
Minister Gulab Chand Kataria said, "We will
make a committee that will see the film and
after seeing it, they will decide what aspects
of the film are hurting the sentiments of the
people. I believe both the sides should not
take the law into their hands."
The movie stars Deepika Padukone, Shahid
Kapoor and Ranveer Singh in the lead roles.
The controversy began where rumours
started making the rounds that there are
love scenes between Deepika's character
Rani Padmini and Ranveer's character
Alauddin Khilji. However, Bhansali and
Padmavati team clearly denied any such
scenes shot between the two.
