Bhansali Given Ultimatum By Karni Sena: Change Film’s Name, No Intimate Scene Between Ranveer-Deepika

Sanjay Leela Bhansali was manhandled by the members of the Karni Sena, a Rajput organisation, in Jaipur recently. They stalled the shoot and vandalised the set, alleging that the film distorted history.

But the nightmare has not ended for Bhansali and his Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone starrer magnum-opus Padmavati.

Now the Sena has announced that they will continue the attacks until the filmmaker agrees to their demands.

This development seems to have stemmed from rumours stating that the film includes a dream sequence where Alauddin Khilji, played by Ranveer, will get intimate with Rani Padmavati, played by Deepika.

Now, the Rajput Karni Sena, has sent out four diktats to SLB.

The group has demanded that the title of the film be changed, any intimate scenes between Ranveer and Deepika be cut out of the script and no distortion of historical facts under the guise of creative liberty.

The Sena has also demanded that they be shown the film before its theatrical release.

In response, Bhansali has put out a statement clarifying that there will be no intimate scenes between Ranveer and Deepika in the film.

"We clarify that there is no dream sequence or any objectionable scene between Rani Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji. We have been carefully researching and making the film. In spite of this, the attack on the shoot and crew was uncalled for and was extremely damaging to the image of the beautiful city of Jaipur," the statement read.
