Strongly condemning the vandalism and assault on the sets of his film "Padmavati" here, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali today said the incident was "uncalled for" and extremely damaging to the image of the beautiful city. Bhansali has earlier directed the opera "Padmavati", which opened to packed houses in Paris and received glowing response. "We clarify that there is no dream sequence or any objectionable scene between Rani Padmavati and Allauddin Khilji. In spite of this, the attack on the shoot and crew was uncalled for and was extremely damaging to the image of the beautiful city of Jaipur." Thanking the authorities in Jaipur, Bhansali said their swift response helped in containing the damages on the sets.
