Sanjay Leela Bhansali Files Police Complaint After Padmavati Set Torched In Kolhapur
Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who had not gone to the cops after the sets of Padmavati were vandalised in Jaipur, has finally decided that enough is enough
Sanjay Leela
Bhansali woke up today to the news that the sets of his upcoming film Padmavati
were attacked once again. This time the venue was Kolhapur and the miscreants
torched the place.
Bhansali, who had
refrained from filing a police complaint when the fringe organisation Rajput
Karni Sena vandalised Padmavati sets in Jaipur and assaulted him, has finally
gone to the cops.
Just a few
moments ago, Shobha Sant, the CEO of Bhansali Productions, announced on Twitter
that the filmmaker has filed a police complaint.
“Filed a
complaint against miscreants who vandalized our costume & jewelry and set
it on fire Padmavati. No loss of life, no one seriously hurt on vandalized
shoot of Padmavati (sic),” read the tweet.
According
to reports, a group of 40 to 50 miscreants vandalised the place and set it on
fire. It is also alleged that the group, armed with petrol bombs and lathis,
destroyed the massive set spread across nearly 50,000 square feet.

The
first time it happened was in January when members of the relatively unknown
Rajput Karni Sena stormed the sets of the film in Jaipur and slapped the auteur
filmmaker. It must be mentioned here that it was only few days ago that the
team of Sanjay Leela Bhansali decided to shift the location of the shoot from
Jaipur to the outskirts of Kolhapur. The reason cited for both the attacks was
that Bhansali manipulated history in his film and was allegedly set to show an
intimate sequence between Alauddin Khilji (played by Ranveer Singh) and Rani
Padmavati (played by Deepika Padukone). The accusation was later on denied by
the filmmaker himself.
