 UP principal secretary (Home), Arvind Kumar wrote a letter to the Information and Broadcasting ministry, stating, "The Censor Board members should take a decision after taking into account people's views. They should be apprised about it. It has come to the notice through intelligence reports that the film's producers have presented the movie for Censor Board clearance. After the release of the trailer of the movie on October 9, various social and other organisations opposed the film." The letter further stated that "in view of the civic polls, polling for which is scheduled on November 22, November 26 and November 29 and the counting on December 1, and also the 'Barawafat' procession by Muslims on December 2, the film's release can pose serious security issues".

		+
		+	Udaipur:
		+
		+	Former Lok Sabha MP and the scion of the erstwhile Mewar royal family, Maharana Mahendra Singh, has disclosed that “someone” approached him and his son with a hefty sum of money to secure the royal family’s go ahead for the release of controversial ‘Padmaavat’ earlier this year.
		+
		+	‘Padmaavat’, a film on the life of queen Padmavati, wife of the 13th century Rajput ruler Rawal Ratan Singh, was opposed by members of the community in several states. While the film was allowed to be released in some states after some modification and emphasis by its director Sanjay Leela Bhansali that it was a work of fiction, ''' ‘Padmaavat’ continues to be banned in Rajasthan ''' [in Nov 2018, 11 months after its all- India release]. Singh, 77, is the senior most living descendant of Rawal Ratan Singh.
		+
		+	The erstwhile Mewar royal family, along with other members of the Rajput community, had also opposed release of ‘Padmaavat’ earlier this year.
		+
		+	Singh told TOI: “There was an unforgivable scene when someone came to me with the offer that if I stopped objecting to the film they would give me a lot of money. I could have nearly slapped the man and thrown him out. I am sorry about this, I am not a violent person.”
		+
		+	However, Singh, former MP from Chittorgarh, did not reveal the identity of the person or the amount offered. He also said the makers of the film and the censor board approached him to seek his sanction for the film but the move was belated.
		+
		+	“The filmmakers themselves approached us. That was before the movie release. Censor board people came to us. I said it’s too late. Finally, I told them, ‘If we are going to make a suggestion, how much of it you are going to accept?’ They bungled up. We were going into unspoken impasse. There was a breakdown,” he said.
		+
		+	Singh said the objection to the movie was not just by Rajputs but all sections of society in the Mewar and neighbourhood regions. “I have not seen the movie. I am not going to see it either. From the reports I got, there are still scenes objectionable. People thought there was nonsense in the movie which is not going to be liked,” he said.

		+	Little known politician from Haryana, Suraj Pal Amu, who had hit the headlines last year after he announced a Rs 10 crore bounty on the heads of actress Deepika Padukone and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is back in the BJP. He will be the party’s spokesperson ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
		+
		+	Amu, who is also a leader of the Rajput Karani Sena, had announced the bounty over allegations that the movie ‘Padmavat’ showed Rajput queen Padmavati in a bad light. Caught in the eye of the storm, he resigned from the party.

Barala told TOI that Amu had realised his mistake after which the party decided to reject his resignation. Numerous attempts to contact Amu failed.

		+
		+
		+	Bengaluru/Jaipur: Two of the four historians that Shree Rajput Karni Sena had named in a six-member panel to decide the fate of Padmaavat ahead of its release last week gave a green signal to the controversial film after watching it in Bengaluru on Monday. They claimed the movie does not hurt the sentiments of any community.
		+
		+	Historians R S Khangarot and B L Gupta, who had been contacted by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chief Prasoon Joshi last month, saw the movie at the ashram of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. They were specially invited by him to watch Padmaavat as an attempt to resolve the row over the film.
		+
		+	“Historically, the film is zero... I don’t think the movie will hurt any section of society. The film has nothing to do with history. We both arrived at the same conclusion,” Prof Khangarot told TOI. When asked about representation of Rani Padmini in the film, Khangarot, who is the principal of a college in Jaipur, said the character in the film is not like the one in history. “I can only talk about the movie in terms of story or the plot with reference to history, nothing else. Cinematography is not my subject,’’ he added.
		+
		+	Gupta, who is a retired professor of history in Rajasthan University and has written numerous books on India’s medieval history, said, “I personally feel nothing in the movie is hurtful to the sentiments of any particular caste. Nobody should have a problem with this film.”
		+
		+	The two maintained that this was their personal opinion and that they do not represent any organisation or community. “We speak only for ourselves,” they emphasised.
		+
		+	“I was not in the country when CBFC invited me to watch this move. Now, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar has taken the initiative; so I watched the movie,” said Prof Khangarot.
		+
		+	Last month, the censor board had sought the opinion of the two historians by inviting them to view the film. However, Khangarot did not attend the preshow as he was in Dubai. Gupta too couldn’t go for the screening due to his busy schedule.
		+
		+	Two days before the movie’s release on January 25, SRKS had named the six-member panel, demanding that the movie be screened for them. Apart from Gupta and Khangarot, the other two historians named in the panel are Jaipur’s Roshan Sharma and Delhi’s Kapil Kumar. Member of the erstwhile royal family of Mewar, Vishwaraj Singh, and his counterpart in Banswara, Jagmal Singh, were the other two members in the panel. However, ''' the local Rajput community is upset with Khangarot and Gupta. '''

 Three days before its scheduled release, “Padmaavat” faced uncertainty on Monday in at least four states, Rajasthan, MP, Gujarat and Jharkhand, with a majority of distributors and exhibitors unwilling to take the risk of releasing Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s controversial film in the face of protests by Rajput groups and threats to theatre owners.

 An unannounced ban isn’t going to stop fans from catching Padmaavat. Many Bhopalis are taking the next train or plane out to Delhi or simply driving across the border to UP to watch the movie. The long Republic Day weekend has come as a boon to the scores of people in MP who are determined to point out how bans are futile as a medieval tactic. Piyush Bhalothia, a mass communication student, said, “I have planned a weekend trip to Delhi with my friends so that we can watch the movie.” Anshul Singh, a businessman, saye he has planned a trip to Agra for his entire family over the weekend to catch Padmaavat.

At one point, TOI noticed that at least 19,000 people were watching the 12 pm to 3 show live on the FB page which had around 5,000 likes.
