Press Conference In Support Of Padmavati Maker Sanjay Leela Bhansali
The meeting concluded just a few minutes back and it was
decided, that a massive demonstration would be staged at Film City on November
16. Between 4pm
and 4:15pm, all film shoots at Film City would be disbanded.
Though Padmavati director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was not
present for the Press Conference, nor was anyone else from the cast of the
film; actors and filmmakers at the venue pledged full support to them.

Actor Sushant Singh said, “We are very angry and saddened. We have been fighting for freedom of expression.”
“First let Sanjay Leela Bhansali release his film. People
should see it and then make an informed decision. He is a very well known
filmmaker, he understands filmmaking does not give you a licence to misuse the
medium,” said BP Singh, President of IFTDA.
Sudhir Mishra finds it absurd that people won’t trust
what Sanjay Leela Bhansali is saying. “He is being treated like someone who has
no sense of responsibility. Bhansali will take his film to CBFC, they will pass
a judgement. We have a multi-talented person like Prasoon Joshi heading the
board. He understands the topic and Indian history. Please allow films to be
released or else filmmakers will stop making films on Indian history. We
strongly condemn what is happened.”
Just a few days back, SpotboyE.com told you
exclusively how Sanjay Leela
Bhansali has been provided with 24 hours security. The police fears
an untoward incident as the film nears its release date.
