As per recent news reports, Padmavat which was earlier known as Padmavati will finally release on January 25 but it will not be screened in Rajasthan. “Queen Padmini’s sacrifice is deeply linked to the state’s glory and honor, she is not just a figure in history for us but a symbol of our pride. We will not let her dignity be tarnished at any cost,” said a statement from the Chief Minister’s office. The period drama movie which stars Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, has been embroiled in several controversies since the day one. The earlier release date of the movie was December 1 but was stalled by protests and many states declared that they won’t allow the screening as well.

Even though Padmavat has got a green signal from the censor board, Karni Sena which led the protests is planning to vandalize cinema halls screening the film. “Let me make it loud and clear that India will burn if the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), producers or cinema hall owners release the film on January 25. We will not tolerate this attempt of defaming our mother Rani Padmavati,” Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, national president of Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena told media. What are your views on the same?
