After being roughed up by members of the Rajput Karni Sena earlier this year in January, during the filming of Padmavati, at Jaipur's Jaigarh Fort, Sanjay Leela Bhansali had quietly moved to Kolhapur with a team of character artistes and started shooting battle sequences on the Mhasai Pathar plateau.

Unfortunately, once again the filming came to an abrupt halt when miscreants sneaked in and set  some boxes containing costumes and jewellery of junior artistes on fire in March. This time the  director stayed put in Kolhapur and completed some portions before flying back home to flag off another schedule in early April in Mumbai's Film City.

As the shoot in Film City continues, Mumbai Mirror has reported that certain portions from the Kolhapur schedule are simultaneously being filmed at a studio in Dahisar. So far, two days of shooting are over and a few more days' work remain.

A source close to the development informed the tabloid, "In the sequence being shot currently in Dahisar, Alauddin Khilji, played by Ranveer Singh, sets up camp opposite the Chittor Fort. Ranveer was shooting here for two days and is juggling between Film City and Dahisar," adding that there's heavy security at both locations.

SLB's period romance Padmavati is a dramatised account of the 1303 siege of the Chittor fort in Rajasthan. Alauddin Khilji lead the invasion, in his quest to possess Rani Padmini, the wife of Raja Rawal Ratan Singh, the ruler of Mewar. She however opted for jauhar, jumping into the flames with the other women in waiting, instead of joining the harem of Khilji, after her husband and his soldiers were vanquished by Khilji.
