Padmaavat Protests Gujarat

As violent protests against the release of film "Padmaavat" burgeoned, the Multiplex Association of India said today its members would not screen the period drama in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Goa.

Theatre owners in Gujarat today said "Padmaavat" will not be screened in any of the multiplexes or single screens in the state till the row over the film is resolved, even as police arrested 50 people in connection with the violence outside malls here last night.

Hundreds of supporters of fringe groups like the Karni Sena ran amok across several states on Wednesday protesting violently against the release of Bollywood film Padmaavat, slated for today.

A protest against release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat in Gujarat turned violent on Tuesday evening when a group of people holding a march against the movie vandalised shops at a mall in Ahmedabad and targeted vehicles parked. A dozen two-wheelers, many of them belonging to a fast-food chain, were gutted.

Former Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot Monday accused the BJP of politicizing the issue of the film "Padmaavat" for reaping benefits in the Gujarat elections.

Ahead of "Padmaavat's" release on Thursday after a Supreme Court order, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh have petitioned the top court for a review and said that states must be allowed to stop the film on grounds of law and order trouble. Their appeal will be heard tomorrow.

Violent protests by members of the Rajput community against the release of Sanjay Leela Bansali's controversial period drama "Padmaavat" were witnessed across Gujarat on Sunday, with agitators damaging buses and blocking roads.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film "Padmaavat", that has provoked anger among Rajput groups, cannot be banned by states, the Supreme Court said today. The producers of the film, which is to be released on January 25, had moved court against the ban by four states - Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.

"Padmaavat" cannot be banned by states on grounds of risk to public order, the Supreme Court ruled today on the film that at least four states refused to screen over fierce protests by Rajput groups. "When bandit queen can be released, why not this movie?" questioned Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra, referring to the controversial 1994 movie base...
