According to the reports the film has a love scene between Queen Padmavati and ruler Alauddin Khilji which is played by actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh. And the Karni Sena says that the queen gave her life rather than submitting to Alauddin, the emperor who stormed the fort.
Padmavati is based on the story of Queen Padmini, who famously refused to submit to emperor Alauddin Khilji when he arrived at the Chittorgarh fort with his army and killed herself along with scores of other women before he could storm the fort.
The senior police officer Anshuman Bhomia of Jaipur police reported to Press Trust of India and said, “The filmmakers have assured that they will not shoot here and will pack up,”
