Action, If Any, Against Bhansali And Threat-Makers: Yogi Adityanath's TakeRajput groups have called for a ban on Padmavati starring Deepika Padukone
NEW DELHI: Padmavati, the 190-crore film that has run into widespread opposition from politicians, is unlikely to be released till next year, said sources in Viacom-18, the studio that has produced the movie. Promotions for the movie, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starring Deepika Padukone, will be reduced. Because the producers initially intended to release Padmavati on December 1, songs and trailers have already debuted. The film must be banned, four states have said, because it offends the sentiment of Rajputs and other groups. The Supreme Court has twice this month refused to block the movie.
Here are the 10 latest developments in this big story:
Protests against Padmavati were started initially by the Karni Sena, which vandalised the movie's sets and assaulted the director during a January shoot in Jaipur.
The movie is about the 14th-century queen, Padmini of Chittor in Rajasthan, who set herself on fire to avoid having to capitulate to Delhi sultan Alauddin Khiji after her husband was killed in battle.
The Karni Sena and other groups say the movie distorts history and besmirches the honour and valour of Padmini by suggesting a romance between her and Khilji, who was infatuated with her beauty.
The states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, all governed by the BJP, and Punjab, which is governed by the Congress, have said the movie should not screen.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan of Madhya Pradesh has said the movie will not show in his state even if the censor board clears it.
Yogi Adityanath, who is the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, said today that as the movie's director, Mr Bhansali is "no less guilty than those issuing threats to actors" who he accused of being in the habit "of playing with public sentiments". Any action, he said, would be "against both sides" in a reference to those vandalising theatres and promising more violence, and the movie's makers.
The producers' application for the censor board to review the film has been rejected on technical grounds. A request for a fast-track review which was reportedly made yesterday was also turned down.
The BJP has ordered a senior leader from Haryana, Suraj Pal Amu, to explain his public offer for Rs. 10 crore to anyone who beheads Ms Padukone and the movie's director. State security has been provided to both. The Karni Sena has threatened to harm Ms Padukone by "cutting off her nose".
Large protests against the movie have been staged in Rajasthan, Maharashtra and some other states.
The film's producers believe that given the controversy, it may be better to move the release to early next year, partly to avoid competing with Salman Khan's upcoming big release, Tiger Zinda Hai, which is set for a December 21 launch.

Yogi Adityanath slams padmavati movie - Sakshi
ప్రముఖ దర్శకుడు సంజయ్‌లీలా భన్సాలీ తెరకెక్కించిన ’పద్మావతి’ సినిమా వివాదం దేశాన్ని కుదుపుతూనే ఉంది. ఇప్పటికే ఈ సినిమా విడుదలను పంజాబ్‌, ఉత్తరప్రదేశ్‌, మధ్యప్రదేశ్‌ రాష్ట్రాలు నిషేధించగా.. తాజాగా మహారాష్ట్ర సర్కారు కూడా ఇదే నిర్ణయం తీసుకునే అవకాశం కన్పిస్తోంది. ఇక ’పద్మావతి’ సినిమా వివాదం నేపథ్యంలో భన్సాలీ, దీపిక తలలు నరికితే.. నజరానా ఇస్తామంటూ ప్రకటనలు వెలువడటంపై ప్రముఖ నటుడు రోహిత్‌ రాయ్‌ తీవ్ర ఆవేదన వ్యక్తం చేశారు. దేశంలో నెలకొన్న అసహనం, అనాగరిక సంస్కృతికి ’తలల నరికివేత’ ప్రకటనలు అద్దం పడుతున్నాయని, ఇలాంటి పరిస్థితుల నడుమ ఒక భారతీయుడిగా భారత్‌లో నివసిస్తున్నందుకు తనకు బాధగా, చిరాగ్గా.. ఆవేదనగా ఉందని ఆయన ట్వీట్‌ చేశారు.
మరోవైపు ఉత్తరప్రదేశ్‌ ముఖ్యమంత్రి యోగి ఆదిత్యానాథ్‌ ఈ సినిమా వివాదంపై మరోసారి స్పందిస్తూ.. భన్సాలీ స్వయంగా ఇబ్బందులు కొనితెచ్చుకున్నారని అన్నారు. భన్సాలీ, దీపిక చంపుతామని బెదిరించిన వారిలాగే భన్సాలీ కూడా నేరస్తుడేనని, ఆయన ప్రజల మనోభావాలను దెబ్బతీశారని అన్నారు. భన్సాలీగానీ, ఇంకా వేరేవారు కానీ చట్టాన్ని చేతుల్లోకి తీసుకుంటే సహించబోమని పేర్కొన్నారు.
