Bollywood director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s team has issued a statement a day after he was attacked by the Shree Rajput Karni Sena on the sets of his upcoming film Padmavati in Jaipur for allegedly distorting historical facts. The film stars actors Deepika Padukone as queen Padmavati and Ranveer Singh as the Muslim king Alahuddin Khilji. The members of the political outfit attacked Bhansali because they believe that his film shows a romantic alliance between Padmavati and Allauddin Khilji. The statement from Bhansali Productions said, “We clarify that there is no dream sequence or any objectionable scene between Rani Padmavati and Allauddin Khilji. “Sanjay Leela Bhansali had directed the opera ‘Padmavati’ to packed houses in Paris and earned worldwide praise for it.
