Sanjay Leela Bhansali ’s magnum opus ‘ Padmavati ’ is in troubles ever since its announcement. From communal groups to the royal families of Jaipur, everyone has created obstructions for Bhansali and his team from the time of its commencement up till now. After facing troubles from Karni Sena and Sarv Brahmin Mahasabha, Bhansali will now do a pre-screening of the film for some of the members of Akhand Rajputana Sangh.
National President of Akhand Rajputana Sangh, RP Singh confirmed the news to a leading daily and said, “I got a call from Mahavir Jain, who is the mediator between Bhansali and the Rajput Sanghatan, on Saturday night. He put me on a conference call with Shobha Sant (CEO, Bhansali Productions). She told me that they were ready to show the movie to a team before release. The screening will be held sometime between November 15 to 18."
The special committee will comprise members from Rajput community, literati and historians will be constituted by Rajyavardhan Rathore. “Once we see the film, we can convince others that the film doesn't distort history in any way. On the other hand, if we see a misrepresentation, we can express our reservations,” he further added.
The biggest concern for all the communal groups is the alleged romantic scene (Dream scene) between Alauddin Khilji and Rani Padmini. "The makers said that there was no dream sequence, but they never gave it in writing," he stated.
Apart from this they also raised their concern about Shahid Kapoor ’s character which is allegedly shown in a negative light. “Aap Raja ko galat nahi dikha sakte hain. We also wanted Bhansali to show Raja's trusted shoorveers, Gora and Badal - they sacrificed their lives to set the Raja free. Bhansali needs to assure us that our concerns are unfounded," stated RP Singh on a concluding note.
Though the movie will have a pre-screening in few days, it surely excites and makes us nervous at the same time that whether the film will release on its original date or not.
