Two days after
Padmavati posters featuring Deepika as Rani Padmini were released,
an outfit of the Rajput community Shri Rajput Karni Sena burnt the posters of the film outside Rajmandir Cinema Hall in Jaipur in protest, reported news agency IANS. They claimed that filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali had promised to the have the movie cleared by the outfit first but has not followed up.
"While shooting in Jaipur Bhansali had promised to show the film to us and historians before releasing it. But since then no one has contacted us, nor has the film been shown to us," said Narain Singh Divrala, the district president of Karni Sena, reported IANS.
Padmavati also stars Aditi Rao Hydari and Jim Sarbh in key roles. The film marks Deepika and Ranveer's third collaboration with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali after
Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela and
Bajirao Mastani.
Padmavati will release in theatres on December 1.
