Bhansali's
Padmavati
has
been
mired
in

filmmaker
of
"distorting
historical
facts".

has
received
death
threats
for
playing
the
titular
role
in
the
movie.
In
an
interview
with
"Talking
Movies:
India
Special" for

World
News,
the
actress
said
that
it
would
be
nicer
to
feel
protected
at
this
time.
When
Asked...
Whether
she
would
like
to
have
better
protection
from
the
state,
she
said,
"In
an
ideal
world,
yes.
I
think
it
is
too
soon
to
tell...
But
yes
it
would
be
nicer
to
feel
safer
or
protected
at
this
point."

"It
is
hurtful
and
it
is
sad.

the
power
to
bring
the
people
together,
to
unite
people
and
to
spread
love.''
It's
Disheartening
''It
is
disheartening
sometimes
that
people
don't
recognise
that."

Dynamics
Of
Indian
Cinema.
"I've
seen
that
transition.
In
the
kind
of
films
being
made,
in
the
kind
of
films
I'm
being
offered,
in
the
roles
that
are
being
written,
and
with
women
behind
the
camera
not
just
in
front
of
the
camera."
