Rajasthan minister Kiran Maheshwari today joined the chorus of protests against Bollywood movie 'Padmavati' even as the Shri Rajput Karni Sena called for a country-wide bandh on December 1, the day the film is slated to be released. Rajasthan BJP chief Ashok Parnami, member of erstwhile Udaipur royal family Laksyaraj Singh Mewar and Congress's Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Singh were among others who said that no effort to distort historic facts would be tolerated.
The Congress said that if there are any scenes in 'Padmavati' that hurt sentiments they need to be reviewed.
Censor Board chief Prasoon Joshi sought to dismiss reports that he watched the film. Some reports suggested that Joshi had found nothing objectionable in the film.
