Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s big film Padmavati seems to be facing more opposition for its release. This time around, reports suggest that BJP’s MLA Raj Purohit is voicing his support to Shri Rajput Karni Sena (SRKS) and demanding a ban on the film.

Purohit has stated that the Rajput Yuva Morcha, who are another outfit opposing the film and SRKS would march to Devendra Fadnavis’s (Chief Minister of Maharashtra) house on November 20 and demand a ban on the film.

Talking to Bollywood media about his views on the film, Purohit said, “The film is against the tradition of Rajputs and goes against Indian history. It hurts the sentiments of women. Alauddin Khilji who is shown as the hero, was a cruel person who killed his uncle for the kingship and also killed his sister’s son. He also kidnapped queen Padmavati and fell in love with her. How can he be the hero?”
