Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and his crew cancelled the shooting of \u201cPadmavati\u201d in Jaipur in the aftermath of the attack on him and vandalism on the sets of the movie by a Rajput group.<\/div>\n
Bollywood celebrities are appalled at the manner in which Bhansali was attacked on the sets of his upcoming film \u201cPadmavati\u201d in Jaipur and have demanded stern action against the culprits.<\/div>\n
Activists of a Rajput organisation, Shree Rajput Karni Sena, assaulted Bhansali, on Friday, slapped him and tore up his shirt.<\/div>\n
Bhansali was roughed up by members of a Rajput community group on Friday, who also stopped the shooting of the film by damaging the set at Jaigarh Fort, alleging that the director was \u201cdistorting facts\u201d in the movie which is about Alauddin Khilji\u2019s obsession with Rani Padmavati.<\/div>\n
Karni Sena on Saturday also reiterated its stand to oppose any distortion of historical facts and demanded a written assurance from the director while also blaming his security for Thursday\u2019s commotion.<\/div>\n
Bollywood, including the film\u2019s three lead stars — Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor — has slammed the fringe outfit for the incident.<\/div>\n
Deepika, who is in the titular role of Padmavati, tweeted, \u201cIn a state of shock!deeply saddened and disheartened by yesterday\u2019s events!#Padmavati.\u201d<\/div>\n
Terming the incident as \u201cunacceptable\u201d, Film & Television Producers Guild of India Ltd and many leading members of the film fraternity like Salim Khan, Shabana Azmi, Karan Johar, Anurag Kashyap, Hansal Mehta, have urged the government to take strong punitive action against the group.<\/div>\n
The protesters also misbehaved with the crew and criticised the famed director for \u201cdistorting\u201d history. Bhansali was shooting some scenes of \u201cPadmavati\u201d in Jaigarh Fort when the attack was reported, the police said.<\/div>\n
They damaged cameras and other equipment, forcing Bhansali to stop shooting.<\/div>\n
As news of the attack broke, celebrities took to social media to express their anger and shock.<\/div>\n
