"Confident that Mewar will be proud of the film; Don't want to hurt any sentiments and would appreciate if locals supported us," said Bhansali.
"There's no dream sequence or any objectionable scene between Rani Padmavati and Allauddin Khilji; been carefully researching & making film," film maker added.
However, he has stopped the shooting of the film.
"Despite love for Rajasthan, for the safety of crew, decided to stop the shoot & leave the city post the incident," Sanjay Leela Bhansali said.
Bhansali was allegedly assaulted by activists of a Rajput community group. They vandalised the set at Jaigarh Fort, slapped him and also teared off his clothes. They alleged that the director was “distorting facts” and showing her in bad light.
About Rani Padmavati
Rani Padmavati was a legendary queen and wife of king Rawal Ratan Singh of Chittor.
She was known mostly for her divine beauty and Jauhar (self-immolation) in 1303, the year Alauddin Khilji attacked Chittor.
Jauhar was the act of self-immolation performed by women (most notably by the queens and royal ladies of the Rajput dynasty) in Rajasthan, after the death of their husbands at the hands of the enemy.
