CONFIRMED: Gujarat Government BANS Deepika-Ranveer-Shahid Starrer Padmavati

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.
