 "We won’t let anyone dishonour Padmavati and insult the people of Rajasthan: Jai Rajputana Sangh")
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s most ambitious project _Padmavati_ has been in news since the film was announced. During the shoot, the filmmaker was assaulted by Rajput Karni Sena, who burnt posters of the film in Jaipur and Kolhapur , and demanded that it be pre-screened to Rajput and Hindu outfits. However this time, Jai Rajputana Sangha has demanded a screening of the film before its release and have additionally threatened to burn cinema halls and multiplexes screening the film, if Padmavati is not shown to them prior to its release.
