Earlier on Sunday, Union Minister Giriraj Singh dared 'Padmavati' director Sanjay Leela Bhansali to make films on other religions.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Telangana, Raja Singh, on Tuesday, threatened Sanjay Leela Bhansali that he would have to pay if the history was distorted in his upcoming movie 'Padmavati'.

Singh said, "If Padmavati has distorted history, Sanjay Leela Bhansali will have to pay the price. We won't allow its release in Telangana."

"In an attempt to earn money, the history is being misrepresented. Bhansali has made an attempt to bring a change in the history by portraying that Alauddin Khilji was in love with Queen Padmini," added the BJP MLA.
