Lucknow, Nov 16: The Uttar Pradesh government has written to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry raising concerns over the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Padmavati. The film that stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in the lead roles has been in the centre of controversy with Rajput groups and many politicians opposing its release over alleged distortion of facts.
The Uttar Pradesh Home Department has now written to the I&B Ministry requesting to apprise Central Board of Film Certification of “growing anger among people and possible unfavourable situation post release of the movie Padmavati.”
