Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati set gets attacked again

Following the physical assault on Padmavati director Sanjay Leela Bhansali (read about it here), the National award winning director's set has once again been attacked at Kolhapur. In the vandalism that was carried out on the night of March 14, 2017, the film's sets were set on fire and a horse is said to have been badly injured in it. The attackers were estimated around 40-50 in number and were seen carrying petrol bombs, stones and lathis. As none of the cast and crew were present at the location during the time of attack, they have all been deemed safe.










Following the incident, earlier today a complaint was filed with the Police and a few suspects have bee taken into custody.

These protests against Bhansali's film began when allegations started doing the rounds that the film has love scenes between Queen Padmini (played by Deepika Padukone) and Allaudin Khijli (played by Ranveer Singh) whereas according to history, the queen killed herself along with many women before submitting themselves to the Mughal Emperor. Also, despite being pointed out that Padmavat (a 16th century poem on which the film is based) is completely fictional, the attacks do not seem to stop. The movie also starrs Shahid Kapoor who plays Raja Rattan Singh, husband of Padmini in the film.

 

Filmmaker Karan Johar on Thursday said he is extremely upset over the vandalism and arson attack on the Kolhapur set of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmavati'.

"It's deeply saddening to me as a filmmaker, as a human being, as a citizen of our prestigious and wonderful country that we have to endure something like this. My thoughts, my support and all my ideologies are with Sanjay. Everytime I read something like this, it deeply saddens me," Karan said at the trailer launch of 'Baahubali: The Conclusion'.

His comment comes after an outdoor set of 'Padmavati' near Kolhapur was vandalised and torched by hooded group of men on early Wednesday. Around 80 to 90 per cent costumes and jewellery on the set were reduced to ashes.

This was the second such setback for Bhansali.

The filmmaker had moved the film's shoot to Maharashtra after activists of Shri Rajput Karni Sena outfit had assaulted him and vandalised the movie's Jaipur set in January over alleged distortions of history in the film's script.

'Padmavati' tells the story of Alauddin Khilji, the medieval-era Delhi ruler who was infatuated by Rajput queen Padmavati.

Is Padmavati actually the most expensive Hindi film of all time?



A. Both Padmavati and Tiger Zinda Hai have a budget of 200 crore apprx inclusive of everything. The difference is that Tiger Zinda Hai will get a rebate from UAE which will bring its budget down a little. So basically does make Padmavati the most expensive film till date.
