Padmavati sparked controversies at the very beginning of its making. Two months ago, members of the Rajput Karni Sena attacked the crew and manhandled director Sanjay Leela Bhansali while he was shooting at the Jaigarh Fort in Jaipur.  

As per media reports, Rajput Karni Sena had issues with the wrong depiction of Rani Padmavati played by Deepika in the movie.

There were also rumours that there will be a sensual dream sequence between Ranveer and Deepika's character which provoked the group.

The video of the attack taking place went viral, and the industry rose in solidarity in support of the filmmaker.

No reports of any group taking the responsibility of the attack have been there so far neither there has been any statement issued by the Bhansali Productions.
