The Rajput Karni
Sena continues to create a havoc over Padmavati. This time, it is Mulayam Singh
and his daughter-in-law who have been targeted.
It so happened that Aparna Yadav, daughter-in-law of Samajwadi Party patriarch
Mulayam Singh Yadav, danced on Deepika Padukone’s Ghoomar song from Padmavati
at her brother’s engagement party on November 23. And now, the Karni Sena is
upset with Mulayam Singh for the same.

The whole nation knows that Padmavati has fallen prey to innumerous controversies since its inception. To begin with, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani has declared that his government would not allow release of the historical drama in the poll-bound state. "There is a lot of sensitivity in Kshatriya and Rajput communities with regards to certain depiction of history. We respect their feelings and with elections on the anvil, the state government does not want any controversy. Besides that the law and order is also our responsibility, so we have decided that we will not allow release of movie 'Padmavati' in Gujarat," said the Gujarat CM.
The controversy took a deadly turn when a few days back, a Jaipur youth was found hanging at the Nahargarh Fort with a threat note.
As of last week, the Indian Films and TV Directors’ Association (IFTDA), along with 19 other bodies of the film and television industry from across the country stopped shooting for 15 minutes as a mark of protecting the right to freedom of expression of those in the creative field.
Not just that, due to strong condemnation from the Karni Sena, the film’s release date has been pushed further. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial was initially scheduled to release on December 1, 2017. However, the release date of the film has been pushed to February 2018 now. SpotboyE.com was the first one to tell you that the film is likely to release on February 14, 2018.
Starring Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, the film revolves around the majestic Rani Padmini.
