Jaipur: Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film on Rani Padmavati is likely to face trouble in Rajasthan. On the day the film’s trailer was launched online, Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena headed by Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi said it would not allow film to be shown in Rajasthan.
In a video message on Facebook, its head Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, without taking Bhansali’s name, used abusive language and accused him of being agent of Dawood and ISIS alleging that the latter was working on their behest. He also said that good senses should prevail upon Union I&B minister Smriti Irani who had assured smooth release of the film and appealed to Prime Minister for his intervention in this matter. Gogamedi was recently exposed in a sting operation when his close aide promised an undercover reporter of staged attacked for publicity and protection money. The reporter of a television channel had first met Gogamedi, the president of the Shree Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena, at his Jaipur home in June.
