Two states seek Centre’s help over anti-Padmaavat protests

Several big-ticket Bollywood movies were released in Telugu and Tamil and did well at the box office here. Deepika, who has previously worked with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani, posted a very cute picture on Instagram where she and Sanjay Leela Bhansali are all smiles. If we go by the reactions recieved by Padmavati in trailers, posters and other revelations then it should do a business of something around 200 crores with around 70-75 crore in the opening weekend itself. But with troubled release in some states the numbers are bound to get affected. “I think now it’s really time for us to celebrate and see the film do wonders at the box-office”. Therefore, Padmaavat might become a super hit at the box office. The makers would be hoping to replicate the success with Padmaavat. “We were taking bookings till yesterday morning but it was decided in the afternoon that the movie will not be screened”. Then one of the cops beat the Karni Sena member hard with a lathi (baton) and the so-called protester could be clearly heard crying out loud.

The group does not want facts to be misrepresented in the film and thus, caused various disruptions while the film was being shot. While she found Ranveer Singh “Epic”, Deepika’s eyes left her awestruck. The hype and critics’ verdict helped the film register an average of over 50 percent advance booking in these areas for its opening day. A big blow indeed to cinema in Goa and any “film culture” that the State is hoping to promote since the worldwide film festival has found a permanent home in the State.

“The film is not being released in the state and people know this”, he added.

Mira Rajput attended HT Stylish Awards 2018 along with husband Shahid Kapoor on Wednesday in Mumbai. This film presents Rajput community’s valour and we have honored them in our movie by glorifying them.

The fate of Padmaavat has shrunk to the core and it seems Sanjay Leela Bhansali should have consulted an astrologer before starting the project. Share your views with us in the comments section.
