It's no secret that Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus 'Padmavati' has been in trouble for quite some time now. Despite the fact that the filmmaker has time and again gone on record to say that the film is nothing but a tribute to Rani Padmini, the film is still facing flak. Now, actor Shahid Kapoor who will be seen essaying the role of Maharawal Ratan Singh in the film has come out and urged people to watch the film first before jumping to any sort of conclusions. Shahid spoke to the media and stated, "We have tried to make the film as best as we could. We will respect whatever people think of the film but you should see it first."
Shahid also said that the entire team is proud of the film and is overwhelmed by the love and support coming in the middle of a controversy. "The whole team is proud of the film. I think it's going to be a special cinematic experience, something which I hope the entire fraternity will be proud of. The response I have received after the trailer (released)... Genuinely the whole fraternity has come together to support the film. When something so beautiful is coming, they don't think like 'oh it's not ours, it's theirs'. Sometimes the trailer or the film is so nice that everyone comes out and says great we have a film like this here. I got a response like that," he said.
Earlier, filmmaker Karan Johar had also come out in support of the film. He had said, "I have faced a lot of controversies before the release of a film. I feel bad for a filmmaker, who is one of the best in the country. Sanjay Leela Bhansali has made a beautiful film and I hope he is protected by the people who understand that creativity is a form of expression. He has himself said that he has made a film which is true to the story and there is nothing in it that might hurt the sentiments and sensibilities of people. I think we should trust and believe him and give this film all the love."
