'Padmavati's' colour decoration vandalised in Surat; 'disgusting' tweets Deepika Padukone
'Padmavati' targeted again
In March, unidentified persons had vandalised the movie's set in Kolhapur district in Maharashtra
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film "Padmavati" is once again at the centre of controversy after the star of the movie Deepika Padukone tweeted pictures of the rangoli(colour decoration)being vandalised in Surat.
This is not the first time Bhansali's film "Padmavati" is being targeted. In March, unidentified persons had vandalised the movie's set in Kolhapur district in Maharashtra and also torched the costumes and the animal feed kept there.
In January, some members of a Rajput community group, Karni Sena, had assaulted Bhansali in Jaipur for allegedly presenting "distorted facts" in "Padmavati".
Following the incident, film's team cancelled its shooting in Jaipur and Bhansali's production house had to release a statement clarifying the "misconception" about the film's story.
"It is absolutely heartbreaking to see the recent attack on artist Karan and his artwork,"the Deepika said, terming it as "disgusting" and "appaling".
Deepika urged NDA's information and textile minister Smriti Irani to intervene.
"Who are these people and who is responsible for their actions?," the actress asked angrily on Twitter.
"How long are we going to let this go on?,"she tweeted.
