BJP
MLA
from
Goshamahal
constituency
Raja
Singh
said
he
would
try
to
stop
the
upcoming
release
of
the
Bollywood
film
Padmavati
if
it
portrays
the
Rajput
queen
incorrectly.
He
claimed
the
film
made
by
noted
director
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
has
incorrect
facts.
"You
(film
director)
show
what
the
fact
is.
But,
if
you
add
masala
for
money
and
show
differently,
how
can
we
keep
quiet.
That
is
why,
you
change
the
story
and
release
the
film.
If
you
release
as
it
is,
we
will
stop
the
movie.
That
is
our
effort," Singh
said.
"We
will
definitely
stop
the
movie
in
the
theatres
where
you
release
the
film.
If
you
release
in
a
theatre
by
force,
we
said
we
will
burn..," he
said.
"I
am
not
inciting
you.
This
is
our
culture.
It
is
the
duty
of
every
Indian
to
protect
this.
Because,
Rajas
and
Maharajahs
did
not
fight
for
personal
(gains).
They
fought
for
nations
security.
They
made
sacrifices
for
nations
security.
Hence,
if
any
dog
makes
any
movie
on
our
Maharanis
(queen)
for
personal
selfishness...makes
movie
to
earn
more
money,
it
is
the
duty
of
every
Indian,
every
Hindu
and
every
Rajput
to
boycott
that,"
he
said.
The
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
film
has
kicked
up
a
controversy
as
Rajput
organisations
in
Rajasthan
have
accused
the
filmmaker
of
distorting
history.
Padmavati,
starring
Deepika
Padukone,
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Ranveer
Singh,
is
slated
for
release
on
December
1.
Singh
had
been
embroiled
in
controversies
in
the
past
as
well.
