After Supreme Court decide to postponed release date of Padmavati,sad that bullies have prevailed again. The government's stance is disappointing but not unexpected. After all what is a film compared to elections? 'S Durga', 'Nude' and 'Padmavati' to begin with. Many more to come," Mehta tweeted on Sunday. In a string of posts, Mehta continued his rant: "I regret recording a video endorsing IFFI - it was done in good faith for the love of films and much before all this happened. I was told by many industry leaders that it was a wise strategy to delay 'Padmavati'. Truth is that people have resigned themselves to government inaction in the face of such blatant terror. The only advice given is to shut up, retreat and accept these attacks."So SLB (Bhansali) should show the film to those who threaten to have him beheaded? And get their approval?"
Singer Sophie Choudry also posted: "So angry about what Deepika Padukone is going through and now 'Padmavati' postponed. When will the industry stand together and fight the bullies who threaten to destroy cinema and art? We are known throughout the world for our film industry and yet we allow this to happen? Shame."
