Bolly Tolly News, Kolkata 30th July,2017 : The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed period drama faced the ire of certain groups, who attacked the filmmaker and also damaged the film's set, alleging distortion of history over the depiction of queen Padmavati.This movie is based on a fictionised account of the life of Rani Padmini, a legendary queen mentioned in Padmavat. According to Padmavat, she was the wife of Rana Rawal Ratan Singh, the ruler of Mewar. In 1303, Alauddin Khilji, the Turkic ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, laid siege to the Chittor Fort in Rajputana. According to Padmavat, Khilji led the invasion motivated by his desire to capture Rani Padmini.
Where Shahid Kapoor said that His upcoming period-drama
"Padmavati" may have been mired in controversies, but actor Shahid
Kapoor said the film did not have anything objectionable and was made with
"good" intention.
When asked if certain scenes have been changed post that,
Shahid told reporters, "According to me, I have not shot any scene which
has been changed. I think there were a lot of presumptions about the film, and
people were presuming there were (certain) things in the film. "The
clarification has been given that those things are not in the film. I hope when
people see the film, they realise that the heart of the film and intent of the
film is very good." "Padmavati", which stars Deepika Padukone in the
titular role, Shahid as Rawal Ratan Singh and Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji,
is scheduled to release this year on November 17.
"This country and the people who live in it, and
specially the area we are talking about in the film, will be glorified and
shown beautifully. I play a Rajput king and my character, I feel, will be
admired by people," Shahid said on the sidelines of Big Zee Entertainment
Awards, last evening.
"Padmavati" marks the first collaboration between
the "Haider" star and Bhansali, and Shahid said he was thrilled to
work with the director. "It's an intense, romantic and a very
looked-forward-to film for various reasons. I think it's a labour of love of
Bhansali. I had gone mad on Twitter after watching his last film ('Bajirao
Mastani'), appreciating everyone, and didn't know I'd be part of his next film.
"It's awesome to be working with someone whose work I
have admired and loved, especially in the recent past. It is a great cast and
going to be a huge film. I am really excited, but I want to underplay it, so I
am trying to do that right now."
