Rajasthan
Home
Minister
Gulab
Chand
Kataria
today
said
appropriate
action
would
be
taken
if
anyone
tried
to
disturb
law-and-order
in
the
state
during
the
release
of
Hindi
film
'Padmavati',
which
has
courted
controversy.
He,
however,
added
that
if
the
film,
directed
by
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali,
had
any
objectionable
content,
it
should
be
removed
as
Rajput
queen
Padmavati
was
an
icon
of
India.
"If
anyone
tries
to
disturb
law-and-order,
appropriate
action
will
be
taken.
Issues
can
be
sorted
out
through
talks
and
if
there
is
any
objectionable
content
in
the
film,
it
should
be
removed,"
Kataria
told
reporters
here
when
asked
about
the
threats
of
protests
by
Rajput
outfits
if
the
film
was
released
in
the
state.
The
BJP
leader
said
Rani
Padmavati
should
not
be
seen
from
a
caste
viewpoint.
"Rani
Padmavati
is
an
icon
of
the
country
and
if
there
is
anything
insulting
(about
her)
in
the
film,
it
should
be
corrected,"
he
added.
Meanwhile,
a
letter
issued
by
the
deputy
superintendent
of
police
(DSP)
yesterday,
in
reference
to
a
letter
from
the
superintendent
of
police
(SP),
had
created
a
confusion
as
to
whether
there
was
a
ban
on
the
film's
release
in
Udaipur.
The
SP,
however,
clarified
later
that
there
was
no
such
ban.
"No
ban
has
been
imposed
on
the
film
in
Udaipur
and
there
is
no
such
direction,"
SP
Rajendra
Prasad
said.
Members
of
the
Rajput
community
have
been
protesting
against
'Padmavati',
while
accusing
Bhansali
of
distorting
historic
facts
about
Rani
Padmavati
of
Chittorgarh.
The
film
is
set
to
hit
the
screens
across
the
country
on
December
1.
