New Delhi, Nov 17: Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) on Friday sent back ‘Padmavati’ to the filmmakers due to technical reasons. The film’s release is likely to be delayed by after the censor board said that the film will be reviewed as per set norms. The film based on the mythical character of Padmavati has irked many Rajput groups including Karni Sena
The tensions reached its zenith when the members of Karni Sena announced a reward of Rs 50 Lakh for chopping the nose of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone.
Karni Sena leader Mahipal Singh Makrana said that while Kshatriyas respected women, but if the film was not banned and Padukone does not stop inciting sentiments with her provocative language, the Rajputs will not lag behind in acting.
He asked why was Padukone, who has the citizenship of Denmark, speaking such provocative language? Makrana claimed that a cinema hall in Kota was rampaged as a result of such provocative language. “Shri Rajput Karni Sena has now just conveyed a lesson to Deepika Padukone to stop making provocative statements or face the result,” Makrana said.
