A horrific incident of vandalism on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus Padmavati in Jaipur shocked everyone in the film industry, directors, producers and actors have united against this issue and voiced their support for SLB. 

While many have called for a strict precautionary method to be implemented so as to avoid any further similar incidents in future. But now, Sanjay Bhansali has decided to return to Mumbai.

Yes, according to recent reports, Bhansali has called off Padmavati shooting in Jaipur and is on his way back home. Although there have been no statement from Bhansali or his team, we are waiting to hear from them soon.

Condemning the attack on noted filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali by Rajput Karni Sena workers, Rajasthan Home Minister Gulab Singh Kataria on Saturday said that flouting law to express anger is not called for, adding that probe would be initiated in the matter.

"In such case, anger is instinctive but it shouldn't be done outside the purview of law. One cannot express anger by breaking the laws. They could have filed a police complaint instead of taking law in their hands," Kataria told ANI.

Protesting against Bhansali's upcoming Indian period drama Padmavati, the Karni Sena workers yesterday manhandled the former, alleging that the film has love scenes between Queen Padmini and ruler Alauddin Khilji, played by actors Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.

The protesters also demanded that Bhansali should delete such scenes in the film, if any.

The attack has drawn a huge outrage with many political leaders and Bollywood fraternity condemning the 'shameful' act of Karni Sena.

Meanwhile, passionately defending its action of vandalising the sets of 'Padmavati' and assaulting Bhansali, the Rajput Karni Sena warned that they will not let the history of their ancestors be tarnished, adding that they would defend their Rajput lineage from ignominy.

"Does Bhansali have the nerve to go to Germany and make a fiction film against Hitler? Even when Jodha Akbar was being made I had raised objections as one cannot insult our blood-spattered history," said founder patron of the fringe group Lokendra Singh Kalvi.

He further alleged that the shooting was being carried out without permission, adding that the Sena would not allow 'obscenities' on the land of Rajputs against its own ancestral icons.
