Historical big-budget Bollywood film Padmavati has been in the headlines for the past few days. Many prominent celebrities have come forward to support the film while some of the political leaders have expressed their displeasure.

Politician H Raja opens up about this issue, “When you make a film based on a historical event, you should not twist or falsify it. You cannot make a misappropriate dance video of queen Padmavati. Tomorrow, will they make a cinema featuring Mumtaj and Chatrapathi Sivaji dancing together? What shameful act this is? I wonder how Kamal Haasan encouraged this film? I guess Kamal has made it a point to support all perverted ideas. I don't think this is right. A historical event should never be distorted."
