Padmavati Arson Attack! Film-makers File An FIR With The Police
Padmavati arson attack! The film-makers have filed an FIR with the police stating that the set has suffered severe damage and equipment & costumes have been burnt.
The
sets
of
Padmavati
were
burnt
to
the
ground
by
unidentified
miscreants
and
the
film-makers
have
suffered
a
massive
loss
due
to
the
damage
to
equipment
and
costumes.
A
spokesperson
from
Bhansali
Productions
was
quoted
as
saying,
"The
sets
of
Padmavati
set
in
Kolhapur
in
Maharashtra
region
witnessed
an
unfortunate
incident
last
night
at
around
12.30am,
when
certain
miscreants
attacked
the
film's
set
and
set
it
on
fire
in
an
attempt
to
damage
the
property.
A
complaint
has
been
filed
to
investigate
this
matter
further,
but
we
are
grateful
that
there
has
been
no
loss
of
life
or
harm
to
anybody
on
the
set.
While,
thankfully
the
incident
occurred
after
we
had
wrapped
our
shoot
for
the
day
and
all
the
artists,
cast
and
crew
were
safely
away;
unfortunately,
around
70
-
80%
of
costumes
and
jewellery
for
the
movie
have
been
destroyed."
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
has
been
facing
severe
opposition
from
various
fringe
groups
and
they
have
also
attacked,
vandalised
and
created
a
ruckus
on
the
sets
previously.
We
hope
the
police
will
bring
the
perpetrators
of
the
crime
to
justice.
