Threats against Sanjay Leela Bhansali for his film ‘Padmavati’, have been increasing as the day for the release of the movie is coming closer. From vandalism, destroying a rangoli which took hours to make, to slapping the Director of the film, Karni Sena has been breaking the law left, right and centre to ban the film.
As if that wasn’t enough, the President of the Rajasthan unit of Shri Rajput Karni Sena, Mahipal Singh Makrana, has threatened physical violence to the leading lady of the film, Deepika Padukone if she continues to defend the film.
In a video, Makrana is seen threatening Deepika saying that although Rajputs do not attack women, they will not hesitate to chop off Deepika’s nose.

Makrana compared Deepika to the demon princess Shurpanakha and said that she is from a different country and hence, has no right to talk about the character of the women related to the history of India.
Meanwhile, the convener of the Karni Sena, Lokendra Singh Kalvi spoke to India Today regarding Deepika’s comment that the country is regressing, adding that Padmavati is funded by the underworld. He said,
“The country is not regressing, you are making it so. With folded hands, I beg Deepika not to insult women… Deepika is dancing in the film. Yes, dance, but why are you dancing with less clothing? How are you trying to portray Indian women?”Â
These outrageous threats did not go well with Twitterati who took to the platform to voice their condemnation for the Rajput Karni Sena.
1. I agree!

2. So much for protecting a woman’s dignity.
@deepikapadukone some spineless people are threatening to cut her nose. I don’t know the logic of protecting a dead woman ‘s pride by harming a living woman. Also they are same people who kill women under sati pratha. @FilmPadmavati @SanjayLeelaB @BJP4India

3. Oh, the irony!
Rajput Karni Sena: Don't let Padmavati release. It is an insult to our Rani Padmini.We will fight for her dignity. It is a shame for our rajput community.
Also, Rajput Karni Sena:We will chop off Deepika Padukone's nose if the movie is released.#Hypocrites !#KarniSena https://t.co/wlP6PHXw5Z

Even after Sanjay Leela Bhansali has clarified that there is no scene between Alauddin Khilji played by Ranveer Singh and Rani Padmavati, the goons of Karni Sena continue to harass the makers for their propaganda. We hope due action is taken to protect the actors as well as the Director of the film.
