It
looks
like
the
controversy
surrounding
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Padmavati
isn't
going
to
die
down
anytime
soon.
Despite
the
makers
clarifying
that
there
is
no
scene
between
Padmavati
and
Alauddin
Khilji,
the
Rajput
Karna
Sena
is
no
mood
to
relent.
Yesterday
Deepika
Padukone
had
shared
her
views
on
the
ban
where
she
had
said,
"It's
absolutely
appalling.
Where
have
we
reached
as
a
nation?
We
have
regressed."
Reacting
to
that
the
Rajput
Karni
Sena
in
Kota
area
of
Rajasthan
vandalized
a
mall
when
Padmavati
trailer
was
shown
in
the
theatre.It
didn't
just
stop
at
that.
Vijendra
Singh
Kalyanwat,
the
spokesperson
of
Karni
Sena,
told
a
leading
tabloid,
"If
the
actor
reacts
to
us,
this
is
our
way
of
giving
it
back.
We
will
do
whatever
we
can.
Hum
kanoon
ko
haath
main
kya,
humare
kadmon
main
bhi
lenge!
We
have
written
our
history
with
our
blood
and
we
won't
tolerate
Bhansali
distorting
it."
Amidst
all
this
hullaboo,
filmmakers
Rohit
Shetty
and
Farhan
Akhtar
have
given
their
take
on
this
entire
controversy.
Here's
what
they
have
to
say...
Horrifying
Experience
Rohit
Shetty
told
Pinkvilla,
"I
have
gone
through
this
during
Dilwale
and
it's
a
mess.
I
just
feel
it
gets
sorted
out
as
soon
as
possible
because
it's
a
big
budget
film
and
everyone
has
worked
so
hard
on
it."
He
Wishes
This
Gets
Over
Soon
The
filmmaker
further
added,
"I
think
as
it
gets
over
I
will
be
more
than
happy
that
the
movie
has
a
peaceful
release.
It
will
be
great
for
the
production
house
and
the
industry
also."
Farhan's
Take
Last
evening
at
a
book
launch
event
when
quizzed
about
the
protests
against
Padmavati
and
Marathi
film
Nude
and
Malayalam
movie
S
Durga
being
dropped
by
the
centre
from
IFFI,
Farhan
said,
"This
has
happened
with
many
films
in
the
past
and
every
time
it
has
happened,
I
have
spoken
openly
about
it
that
it
should
not
happen.
I
am
totally
against
anything
being
banned."
Audience
Is
Not
Kids
He
said,
"I
genuinely
believe
that
we
should
stop
treating
our
audiences
as
children.
We
should
allow
them
to
grow.
Expose
them
to
different
types
of
ideas.
Allow
them
to
understand
culture
and
think.
It
is
important
for
the
development
of
any
nation
that
there
are
viewpoints,
that
are
not
always
in
agreement
with
the
majority."
He
Condemned
The
Violence
Being
Subjected
To
Padmavati's
Release
"In
cinema,
there
is
no
such
law
that
if
a
film
releases,
come
what
may
you
have
to
watch
it.
You
have
the
freedom
to
boycott
the
film.
To
spread
the
message
to
boycott
the
film
but
what
you
don't
have
is
the
freedom
to
threaten
someone
with
grievous
bodily
harm,
or
break
someone's
theatre
or
hurt
someone
in
any
way.
And
unfortunately,
that's
where
the
line
hasn't
been
drawn
properly.
We
as
a
film
industry
are
dependent
on
the
CBFC
to
tell
us
what
is
okay
and
what
is
not
okay.
We
have
accepted
that.
Beyond
that,
it
is
up
to
the
I&B
ministry
and
the
government
to
protect
the
films
and
filmmakers.
That's
what
I
have
always
believed
and
that's
what
I
believe
in
case
of
these
three
films,"
he
added.
