It looks like there's more trouble for the 'Padmavati' team. In a new development, now a local court in Rajasthan has accepted a complaint against filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali and actors Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor. This is in regards to the ongoing controversy relating to their forthcoming film 'Padmavati'.
The court has not directly sent the complaint to police for registration of an FIR but has asked for recording the statement of the complainant. “The court of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate while accepting the complaint has said that it will record my statement on November 27 under Section 200 of Cr.P.C.,” complainant Bhawani Shankar Sharma said.
“The news about this also spread in foreign countries too which affected tourists’ arrivals and also the tourists who are in the country faced many problems because of this,” he continued. His lawyer Farid Khan said that the crew did not follow the rules and legal provisions in this regard. “How can Bhansali screen movies to select few before showing it to the censor board,” he asked.
