Come, Watch "Padmaavat", Says Sanjay Bhansali In Letter To Karni Sena

New Delhi: Three days before Padmaavat's release, its producers have made a last-ditch attempt at bringing on board the Karni Sena, which has threatened to block the film's screening at all costs despite a Supreme Court order. In a letter on Saturday, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali invited the group to watch the film, promising that "the film will make the entire Rajput community proud".

But the Karni Sena's response has not given the producers any hope.

"We are ready to watch the film if they are ready to show it to us, but they must not insult us," said the group's Lokendra Kalvi, fuming at what he felt was a belated invite.


"I have one condition...show me the film that will be released. We want to assure that those who watch the film are not insulted," said the Karni Sena leader.

In his letter, Mr Bhansali assures that the "film showcases the honour and valour of the Rajput community and rani Padmavati is portrayed with utmost dignity and respect".

The Karni Sena today appealed to the Supreme Court to stop the film's release on Thursday, on grounds that it twists history and denigrates the legendary Rajput Queen Padmini. The court will hear the petition along with the petition of Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan.
The two states have urged the court to allow them the option of not screening the film on account of law and order trouble because of the protests.
