To the relief of distributors in Bengal, Lokendra Kalvi, patron, Rajput Karni Sena had told DNA that there was no plan of agitation in Kolkata.
Just a day to go before Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, 'Padmaavat' hits theatres. Audience can also watch Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh's controversial film a day before the release at paid previews across the country including West Bengal.
The preview in Bengal will, however, be limited to multiplexes. “It will be a show at 6 pm across the state. The response has been overwhelming so far and we are not anticipating any trouble,” said a senior executive of Inox Leisure Limited. He also said that the tickets were filling up fast and it was expected to run a full house everywhere.
Though fringe groups are staging protests across the country that also includes vandalising theatres which is all set to screen the film and pulling down hoardings of the film, West Bengal had been insulated of violence so far.
Earlier when the film was called Padmavati and was slated to be released on December 1, 2017, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on November 24, 2017 had welcomed the makers. She said at an event,“If they are unable to release the film in any other state, we are ready to make special arrangements for it in our state. Bengal will be happy and proud to do it. Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his Padmavati team are welcome here."
Police sources too said that there was almost no possibility of any trouble with the film’s release. “We don't think there would be any resistance here but at the same time we are ready to tackle any law and order situation if anything arises,” said a senior official of Lalbazar, the Kolkata Police headquarters.
To the relief of distributors in Bengal, Lokendra Kalvi, patron, Rajput Karni Sena had told DNA that there was no plan of agitation in Kolkata.
Eastern India Motion Pictures Association (EIMPA) officials have expressed their confidence on the administration as well. “We don't expect any trouble but at the same time we have full faith on our law and order system. There had been attempts to create a minor trouble earlier but it was immediately thwarted by the police,” said Krishna Narayan Daga, vice president, EIMPA.
