Abide by Constitution in letter and spirit, no one should be harmed: PM

In his address, the Prime Minister made no reference to the incidents and the controversy.

The makers of the upcoming movie have voluntarily postponed its release date, in the face of absence of requisite clearances from CBFC.

The movie, starring actors Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor, had not received a clearance from the CBFC.

Amu threatened to break actor Ranveer Singh's legs, who is playing Delhi Sultanate ruler Alauddin Khilji in the movie.

The letter is the first official communication from the Rajasthan chief minister on the controversy surrounding the epic drama.

Gupta also noted that it has become a habit of Bhansali to tamper historical facts in his movies, citing ‘Bajirao Mastani’.

'Padmavati' has been sent back to filmmakers by CBFC due to technical reasons. The film will be reviewed as per set norms.

However, when the issue snowballed, Tharoor took to Twitter to clarify his comments.

Padukone had on Tuesday hit out against those protesting the release of 'Padmavati' and reportedly said that 'we've regressed as a nation'.
