Fringe Fury | Watching Padmaavat? Then Karni Sena has this brutal warning for you
Barely three days before much-delayed release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Padmaavat, Rajput Karni Sena has issued a chilling warning to those interested in watch the movie.
Staging a protest against the period drama in Jaipur, the members of the fringe group said, ‘We are confident that no cinema hall will screen the film.’
‘If someone does they should be ready to bear the consequences. Consider it a warning or request,’ a Karni Sena member was quoted as saying by ANI.
The members of Karni Sena have been staging protests all over the country. On Monday, some protesters created a ruckus and tore the poster of ‘Padmaavat’ outside a movie hall Telangana.
The manager of Tivoli Theatre said that they informed about the same to Begumpet police, following which they reached there and pacified the matter.
‘Few persons came to Tivoli Theatre and tore the posters of Padmaavat, which is going to be screened on 25. We immediately informed the matter to Begumpet police. They reached the spot and spoke to them and sent them back,’ the manager said.
Earlier, members of same organisation burnt 'Padmaavat' posters and staged a protest against the release of the movie in Uttar Pradesh's Lucknow and said, "We will protest in front of every theatre and urge not to screen the movie".
The Supreme Court, recently, stayed notifications issued by the four states - Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Gujarat - to ban the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum-opus.
In its interim order, the court said all states are constitutionally obliged to maintain law and order and prevent any untoward incident during the screening of the film, after permission has been granted by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
The period drama has run into trouble time and again, as members of several Rajput factions have accused the director of the film, Bhansali of distorting history. Starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles, the film is all set to release on January 25.
