Actor
Arjun
Kapoor
has
come
out
in
support
of
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali,
whose
magnum
opus
"Padmavati" is
in
trouble
even
before
its
release,
saying
the
people
need
to
have
faith
in
the
director's
vision.
Bhansali
released
a
video
statement
on
the
film's
official
Twitter
account
yesterday
calling
the
Deepika
Padukone-Shahid
Kapoor-Ranveer
Singh
starrer
his
tribute
to
the
"sacrifice,
valour
and
honour" of
Rani
Padmavati.
Arjun
defended
the
filmmaker
in
his
tweet,
"Yet
again
a
man
has
to
justify
creativity
because
politics
and
propaganda
create
an
ugly
environment.
"He's
a
fantastic
filmmaker
his
vision
must
be
trusted.
I'm
sure
Rani
Padmavati
and
her
story
will
be
depicted
with
respect
by
him
(and
the
actors)."
In
his
video
appeal,
Bhansali
said
rumours
about
a
romantic
dream
sequence
between
Rani
Padmavati
(Padukone)
and
Alauddin
Khil
are
not
true
as
he
was
careful
in
depicting
the
'Rajput
honour
and
dignity'.
Various
Rajput
groups
have
accused
the
director
of
distorting
historical
facts.
The
Karni
Sena
has
allegedly
threatened
to
burn
the
theatres
if
the
film
is
played
in
cinema
halls
before
it
is
shown
to
them.
