Now again, the Rajput caste organisation has threatened the makers that if they don’t show the movie to the members before the releasedl, they will burn the cinema halls.
“We won’t tolerate any distortion of history and if any romanctic relationship is show between queen Padmavati and Alauddin Khilji, will burn cinema halls screening the film. Our members are trained in handling a large array of weapons ranging from swords to AK 47 guns. We won’t let anyone dishonour Padmavati and insult the people of Rajasthan,” India.com quoted member Jai Rajputana Sangh as saying.
“Our demand is that the filmmakers screen it to a panel of representatives from various Rajput organizations. We will only give them a go-ahead to release the film after we are satisfied that no scene insults queen Padmavati,” he added.
