Indian film director Hansal Mehta says that he is very upset about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming Indian Period drama movie titled ‘Padmavati‘ release date getting postponed. He says that he is very much disappointed with the government’s stance. The decision which he has taken to record a video for the forthcoming 48th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) was also not appropriate and he regrets that now.
Hansal says that all the bullies have prevailed again. Moreover, he says that the government’s stance is very disappointing and they were not expecting this. He recorded a video in which he can be seen endorsing the International Film Festival of India, he says that he recorded the video with a good faith and for the love of the films and much before that all this has happened.
He has been told by many of the industries leaders that it was a wise strategy to delay the upcoming movie ‘Padmavati’. However, the truth is that most of the people have resigned themselves to government inaction in the face of such blatant terror. He feels that the only advice can be given to them is to shut up, retreat and accept these attacks.
When asked that the makers of the movie Sanjay Leela Bhansali showed the movie to those who have threatened to have him behaved? Does the movie get the approval? Hansal says that the movie has been mired in the controversy over the conjectures that the movie distorts history, which is regarding the Rajput queen Rani Padmavati. However, director of the movie Sanjay Leela Bhansali has denied all such rumors.
On Sunday, the producer of the movie along with distributors Viacom 18 Motion Pictures released a statement that the studio which is behind the movie ‘Padmavati’ has been voluntarily deferred the release date of the movie from December 1, 2017.

There are some groups who have been protesting against the movie’s release. On the other hand, there are some who have demanding that the release has been deferred in view of the Gujarat Assembly election. The Central Board of Film Certification has also not given the clearance of the movie they are saying that the applications which have been submitted by the makers are incomplete.
The new release date for the movie will be announced once the movie will requisite clearances are in place. Even Anurag Basu said that the whole movie is based on just presumptions and those people who are protesting for the movie have not seen the single frame of the movie yet and they very well know that the history has tampered. He fails to understand the desperation. The Karni Sena along with the other protestors will be facing a huge existential crisis post the release of the movie ‘Padmavati’ so these people are just trying to juice out the maximum they can.

They are very well known in the world because of their movies and still, these all are happening with them.
