Over 600-700 people from the entire film industry in India from filmmakers to
writers, workers, make-up men came together in support of Padmavati. All shoots
were halted from 4.15
p.m. to 4.30 p.m. Screams of ‘Let us know — Are we free
people? Are we living in a democratic country?” resonated through Filmcity,
