We will ensure the movie's screening is held peacefully across the district,” Suniti added. However, Karni Sena members have issued open threats to cinema hall owners recently. “We have received letters from various theatres requesting security so that no violence occurs inside the theatres. On Sunday, hundreds of members of the Karni Sena, a Rajput output from Gautam Budh Nagar, vandalised the Delhi Noida Direct Toll Plaza, demanding a ban over the release of Padmaavat in Uttar Pradesh.
