Padmavati is a film about Rani Padmini, famous as one of the most beautiful women in history. She was also the reason for conflict between Raja Rawal Ratan Singh and Alauddin Khilji, which is essentially what the film is about.
The movie has been at the centre of a lot of controversies since the time it started filming. Its sets were attacked in Jaipur and Kolhapur by Karni Sena activists. Sanjay Leela Bhansali was beaten up too.
A lot of Bollywood celebs condemned the attack and the incident became a major issue at that time.
Celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra, Mahesh Bhatt, and Karan Johar took to social media to express their anger.
Bhansali subsequently issued an official statement condemning the attack and said it was uncalled for.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Smriti Irani said recently at an event that Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film Padmavati would not face any trouble on its release.
