A statement issued through Bhansalis representative said keeping in mind the safety of the films crew, the director decided to stop the shooting post the "shocking" incident. Refuting claims of the fringe group that the film will feature an intimate scene between Alauddin Khiji, played by Ranveer Singh, and Rani Padmavati ( Deepika Padukone), Bhansali said there is no such sequence. "We clarify that there is no dream sequence or any objectionable scene between Rani Padmavati and Allauddin Khilji. The Karni Sena had gone there to oppose the shooting and talk to Bhansali. Besides Bhansali, the films three lead stars -- Ranveer, Deepika and Shahid Kapoor -- slammed the fringe outfit for the incident.
