When Padmavati’s shooting began in Jaipur, Rajput Karni Sena based in Rajasthan was responsible for vandalizing magnificent sets, destroying elaborate costumes and manhandling the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Karni Sena is hell bent on making sure that Padmavati does not release in Rajasthan as they feel the makers of the film are portraying Queen Padmini in poor light.

As for Gujarat, according to reports, Kshatriya community has sent a letter expressing disapproval to BJP Vice-President I.K. Jadeja on behalf of few selected districts of Gujarat. The reason is that they feel that the historic film will portray a distorted version of the rich cultural history. Another reason can be BJP’s expressed opinion that Padmavati should not be released till after Gujarat’s Legislative Assembly elections that are to be held on December 9th and December 18th this year.

However as reported by Bollywood Bubble, the poster is targeted for the UAE audiences and not for the Indian audiences. So it has been cleared that Padmavati is set for its UAE release on November 30th so it can enjoy an extended release weekend. As for the Indian release, the date is still December 1st.
