Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Padmavati is one of the most awaited flicks of this year, but it also courted some controversies too. Some Rajput outfits have been opposing the film's screening in theatres, alleging that the movie portrays Rani Padmini in bad light.

The outfits demanded that a special screening before a panel consisting of Rajput intellectuals be held first, and if they approve, the movie could be screened in theatres. They even threatened to burn theatres if the demand was not met.
