Moradabad (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 20 (NT): In a show of protest against movie 'Padmavati', the supporters of Kshatriya Mahasabha on Sunday burnt statue of the director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Deepika Padukone.

Congress leader Shashi Tharoor was also embattled in the 'Padmavati' protest.

The vice president of Kshatriya Mahasabha, Thakur Yogendra Singh Rana told, "Sanjay Leela Bhansali had publicized Mastani dancing on the screen in 'Bajirao Mastani'; she was also a Rajput woman. Scenes of both 'Bajirao Mastani' and 'Padmavati' are in opposition to a religion and country."

Rana issued an open threatening to the moviegoers.

"I am warning if the film is not banned, then those going to watch it should get their insurance done," Rana insisted.

Rana demanded the film be shown to select individuals from Kshatriya community, and if they approve that it doesn't have a "vulgar joke, and no disgraceful dance has been acted by a queen," then the movie should be released after the approval of Kshatriya community.

"Our only appeal is such scenes - if there are- should be cut, or the film should be banned from release," he further asserted.

The release date of the movie starring actors Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone, and Shahid Kapoor, has been delayed after not getting a clearance from the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC).

The movie was planned to release on December 1.
