Padmaavat Protests

The Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena and Mr Gogamedi's rise to fame was leading protests against the Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor-starrer 2018 Bollywood film 'Padmaavat'.

At a time when many A-listers in Bollywood are cagey about taking a stand on the Citizenship Amendment Act and the attack on the Jawaharlal Nehru University, actor Deepika Padukone has expressed her admiration for a generation that is not afraid to fight for what it believes.

Shri Rajput Karni Sena, the outfit which led violent protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie "Padmaavat", has claimed the outfit is not involved in the protests against Kangana Ranaut's "Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi".

Aamir Khan is reportedly "seriously reconsidering" his decision to adapt the Mahabharata after what happened with "Padmaavat"

"Padmaavat" makers may be celebrating '50 glorious days' of the film in theatres, which has made over Rs 300 crores, but Ranveer Singh still seems to be affected by the controversy as the actor says it was "infuriating" for him to see his director Sanjay Leela Bhansali go through the "assault".

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much controversial film "Padmaavat", which did not release in Madhya Pradesh over protests, will now hit the screens in Indore on Thursday amid high security.

Shree Rajput Karni Sena chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi on Saturday dismissed reports that his outfit has withdrawn protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat" and said it must be some "fake news" circulated by a "fake Karni Sena".

The Shri Rajput Karni Sena on Friday announced it has decided to take back its protest against the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat", stating the movie glorifies the valour of the Rajputs.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali believes the phenomenal audience response to "Padmaavat" is his answer to those who have been protesting against the film.

In another act of violence in the protests against the movie "Padmaavat", two men on Saturday threw a petrol bomb outside a theatre in Thane that was screening the film, the police said.

Denying again its involvement in the incidents of violence, the Shree Rajput Karni Sena on Saturday said it would intensify its agitation and continue it till the film "Padmaavat" is banned.

The Gurgaon Police on Saturday detained Karni Sena chief Thakur Kushalpal in connection with the attack on a school bus and torching of a state roadways bus here during anti-"Padmaavat" protests earlier this week.

With protests still continuing against "Padmaavat", Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday said he saw the film along with a few others Rajput leaders and found nothing objectionable in it. A Rajput himself, Mr Sisodia said that those opposing the film earlier were angry with themselves after watching it.

From a group formed in 2006 mainly to "fight for the rights of Rajputs" to leading violent protests against Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period film "Padmaavat", the Karni Sena has come a long way.

Post the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Padmaavat" despite their protests, Shri Rajput Karni Sena on Thursday announced that they will produce a film on the filmmakers's mother, which will named as "Leela ki Leela".
