राजपूत करणी सेना ने जलाए 'पद्मावती' के पोस्टर

Shri Rajput Karni Sena burn posters of 'Padmavati' film in Jaipur



राजपूत समुदाय के संगठन श्री राजपूत करणी सेना ने शनिवार को जयपुर में संजय लीला भंसाली की आने वाली फिल्म 'पद्मावती' के पोस्टर जला दिए। फिल्म 1 दिसंबर को रिलीज होनी है, जिसका फर्स्ट लुक बीते दिनों जारी किया गया। प्रदर्शनकारियों का एक ग्रुप राजमंदिर सिनेमा हॉल के सामने इकट्ठा हुआ और यहां भंसाली के खिलाफ नारे लगाए गए। साथ ही फिल्म के पोस्टर जलाए गए।

जयपुर में श्री राजपूत करणी सेना के जिलाध्यक्ष नरायन सिंह ने एक इंटरव्यू में कहा, 'जयपुर में शूटिंग के दौरान भंसाली ने हमें और इतिहासकारों को फिल्म रिलीज करने से पहले इसे दिखाने का वादा किया था। लेकिन उसके बाद से न ही किसी ने हमसे संपर्क नहीं किया, न ही फिल्म दिखाई गई।'

उन्होंने कहा, 'हम चाहते हैं कि भंसाली राजपूत करणी सेना की कोर कमिटी और इतिहासकारों को रिलीज से पहले फिल्म दिखाएं। उसके पहले हम फिल्म रिलीज की अनुमति नहीं देंगे। अगर करणी सेना की कोर कमिटी और इतिहासकारों को कोई समस्या नहीं होगी तभी हम फिल्म की स्क्रीनिंग की अनुमति देंगे।'


नरायन सिंह ने कहा, 'मीडिया में चल रही खबरों से हमें पता चला है कि फिल्म में तथ्यों और इतिहास से छेड़छाड़ की गई है और यह बर्दाश्त नहीं किया जाएगा।'

बता दें, इससे पहले जनवरी में राजपूत करणी सेना के कार्यकर्ताओं ने प्रदर्शन किया था और भंसाली के क्रू के साथ बुरा बर्ताव किया था। उनका कहना था कि वह फिल्म में ऐतिहासिक तथ्यों के साथ छेड़छाड़ कर रहे थे। कायकर्ताओं ने कुछ कैमरों और दूसरे उपकरणों को तोड़ दिया गया था, जिसके बाद भंसाली को शूटिंग रोकनी पड़ी थी। 
An organization of the Rajput community, The Shri Rajput Karni Sena, recently burnt posters of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film 'Padmavati' which is scheduled for a 1 December release. According to an online media portal, a group of protesters gathered in front of a local cinema hall and shouted slogans against Bhansali, following which they burnt posters of the film.


Narain Singh Divrala, district president Jaipur of the Shri Rajpur Karni Sena, reportedly told the portal,"While shooting in Jaipur, Bhansali had promised to show the film to us and historians before releasing it. But since then no one has contacted us, nor has the film been shown to us."


He added,"We want him to show the film to the core committee of Shri Rajput Karni Sena and various organizations, including historians, before releasing it. Till then we will not allow the film to be released. If the Karni Sena core committee and historians don't have any problems only then will we allow screening of the movie. We have come to know through media reports that facts and history have been distorted in the film, and it is unacceptable."




It is the same organization that had successfully disrupted the shooting of the movie earlier this year. The audience has definitely high hopes but the recent look reveals have got mixed responses. Let's wait to watch it on 1 December.




The Shri Rajput Karni Sena, an organisation of the Rajput community, on Saturday burnt posters of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-awaited Padmavati which is slated for a 1 December release.

A group of protesters gathered in front of Rajmandir Cinema Hall and shouted slogans against Bhansali and burnt posters of the film.

"While shooting in Jaipur, Bhansali had promised to show the film to us and historians before releasing it. But since then no one has contacted us, nor has the film been shown to us," Narain Singh Divrala, district president Jaipur of the Shri Rajpur Karni Sena, told IANS.

"We want him to show the film to the core committee of Shri Rajput Karni Sena and various organizations, including historians, before releasing it," Divrala said. "Till then we will not allow the film to be released. If the Karni Sena core committee and historians don't have any problems only then will we allow screening of the movie," he added.

"We have come to know through media reports that facts and history have been distorted in the film, and it is unacceptable," Divrala said.

In January, activists of the Shree Rajput Karni Sena had protested, manhandled and misbehaved with the crew of Bhansali's Padmavati claiming that he was distorting historical facts in the movie. They had also damaged some cameras and other equipments. Bhansali had to stop shooting.

The Karni Sena claimed that they have got a big library and that in no book it is written that Alauddin Khilji, a powerful ruler of the Khilji dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate in 13th-14th century, fell in love with Padmavati."They are trying to defame Padmavati by distorting historical facts. It is not acceptable," an activist of Karni Sena said.

In March, some miscreants broke the mirrors in Padmini Mahal (palace) in Chittorgarh Fort where Ala-ud-din Khilji is believed to have seen Rani Padmavati or Padmini.

Shri Rajput Karni Sena claims that the mirror was invented years after Padmavati lived and therefore it is a completely untrue story.


The first look of Bhansali's much-awaited film, featuring Deepika Padukone, was released earlier this week. The actor plays Rani Padmini or Padmavati of Chittor, alongside Ranveer Singh who plays Alauddin Khilji.
