Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati has been running into
trouble ever since the shooting of the film commenced. Yesterday, Akhil
Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha’s Abhishek Som offered to give Rs 5 crore to anyone
who would behead Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. This statement has
annoyed celebs from B-Town. Director Ekta Kapoor and Dia Mirza
took to Twitter to strongly condemn the statement.
Dia Mirza wrote, “The hooligans threatening to hurt
@deepikapadukone should be jailed! The fact that rogues continue to use the
film industry as a soft target to promote their dirty politics is appalling
enough what makes it worse is that they get away with it! Every time!
#Padmavati (sic).”
