The movie 'Padmavati' was touted to have distorted the historical facts and it based on the Queen Padmini who ruled Rajasthan. The movie showed how Deepika fell in love with Delhi Sultan Allaudin Khilji after marrying another Prince. This showed Rajputs in the bad light and also the Rajput women character.
Deepika's effigy was burned in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat. Gujarat Chief Minister even said the movie will never get a release in his state. Recently, a particular section even announced that they would give 10 Crores to those who would cut her nose and 1 Crore to those who burn her alive.
This really shocked Deepika and right now she stays within the home and tight security has been offered to her residence. All her shootings have been canceled and called off. Most of them opposed those parties which made such statements.
