This comes a day after nearly 40 activists of the Rajput Karni Sena had attacked Jyoti cinema hall in Muzaffarpur town, torn posters of `Padmaavat`, shouted slogans against its release and threatened to set ablaze the theatre if the film is screened.
Shockingly this comes after the Supreme Court on Thursday gave a go-ahead for the pan India release of the film. The apex court also restrained other states from issuing any such notification or order banning the screening of the film, with Chief Justice Dipak Misra saying "the whole problem is when the exhibition of a film is stopped like this, my constitutional conscience shocks me".
The film which was originally meant to release in December last year has got a U/A certificate and a new title from CBFC, Padmaavat will now release on January 25th.
