Padmavati release could cause disturbance: UP

The Hindu  

The Uttar Pradesh government has written to the Union Information and Broadcasting Ministry, expressing the apprehension that the release of Bollywood film Padmavati on December 1 could lead to serious “law and order problems” in the State. The Uttar Pradesh Home Department has appealed to the I&B Ministry to apprise the Central Board of Film Certification of the “public sentiments” against the alleged distortion of “facts” in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. In the letter, the State government has said that there is “public anger” against the “distorted manner” in which the “storyline” and “historical facts” are presented in the film. Home Ministry's letter was the “impact” of the outfit’s campaign against the Bollywood film, which “depicted Padmavati in a dishonourable manner.” Mr. Kalvi said the government would have to be prepared to face the wrath of the Kshatriya youth if the film was allowed to be screened.
