‘Padmaavat’ row: After Deepika Padukone’s head, her nose announced bounty by fringe group

Looks like ‘Padmaavat’ has still trouble left as the movie releases today. In Kanpur, an outfit has been announced a cash reward for anyone who will chop off Deepika Padukone’s nose. “We have collected a bounty of crores of rupees from Kanpurites to be given as a reward to anyone who will bring the chopped off the nose of Deepika Padukone,” Kanpur Kshatriya Mahasabha president Gajendra Singh Rajawat stated.


There were similar threats as well before, as a Meerut resident from the Kshatriya community had announced a bounty of Rs 5 crore, for the person who will chop their heads, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and actor Deepika Padukone. Earlier this Wednesday in Kanpur Kshatriya Mahasabha activists staged a dharna at Shikshak Park, to ban the movie and also warned the district administration and police to be ready to face protests across if the film will be screened in their city.


The protesters also threatened the cinema owners that their property would be destroyed as well. When this news was received the senior officials they sent a heavy police contingent to the place to ensure law and order. Senior Superintendent of Police, Akhilesh Kumar said, “To prevent any untoward incident, security has been beefed up in and around all the malls and cinema halls.”
