Hope No Film Faces Protests Like 'Padmaavat': Sonam Kapoor
"Padmaavat" is finally releasing on January 25 after a long struggle with the censor board and actor Sonam Kapoor says she hopes no film faces the same fate as the upcoming period drama.
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
"Padmaavat" is
finally
releasing
on
January
25
after
a
long
struggle
with
the
censor
board
and
actor
Sonam
Kapoor
says
she
hopes
no
film
faces
the
same
fate
as
the
upcoming
period
drama.
The
32-year-old
actor,
who
made
her
debut
with
Bhansali's
"Saawariya" in
2007,
wished
the
filmmaker
all
the
best
for
the
movie.
"I
haven't
worked
with
him
(Bhansali)
for
10
years
since
my
first
film
released.
I
have
been
in
touch
with
him.
I
wish
him
all
the
best
for
his
film.
I
hope
the
film
releases
and
I
won't
wish
this
(protest)
on
anybody,"
Sonam
told
PTI.
Her
next
release
"Padman"
is
all
set
for
box
office
clash
with
"Padmaavat".
The
officials
at
Viacom18
Motion
Pictures,
producer
of
the
controversy-ridden
film,
confirmed
the
release
date
as
January
25
but
are
yet
to
make
an
official
announcement.
Sonam
hopes
the
R
Balki-directed
film
would
help
eliminate
the
stigma
surrounding
menstruation.
"There
is
lot
of
stigma
attached
to
menstrual
hygiene
and
hopefully
a
film
like
this
will
change
the
mindset
of
people
to
an
extent
and
even
create
awareness.
I
hope
India
is
progressing
towards
a
better
future."
"The
idea
to
make
any
kind
of
art
be
it
films
or
anything
is
to
reach
out
to
more
people
and
propagate
something
to
change.
Any
change
would
be
a
welcome
with
our
film,"
she
said.
