In Surat, communities like; Vishva Hindu Parishad, Bajrang Dal and Rajput Karni Sena led a joint protest against the movie.

This is not the first time that the movie has seen a protest rather members of various Rajput communities have protested Padmavati since the inception. When the shooting started it was threatened to have a delayed release. The community had a firm belief that movie has such contents which offend historical depiction of the character asserting that the film twisted history. In January, Bhansali was ambushed on the arrangement of Padmavati in Jaipur in Rajasthan, after which the shoot was moved to Maharashtra. The film’s set in Kolhapur was determined to flame in March.
Bhansali had discharged a video, tending to questions over a fantasy grouping between Alauddin Khilji, played by performing artist Ranveer Singh, and Padmini, played by Deepika Padukone. The film, he stated, was made with “a great deal of trustworthiness, duty and diligent work”.
Challenges broke out in the city of Gujarat and Mumbai against the delineation of a verifiable figure, Rani Padmavati in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s forthcoming film. Mumbai Police kept 15 individuals from the Akhand Rajputana Seva Sangh while they were dissenting.
The creators of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati will demonstrate the epic dramatization to anybody questioning its substance, yet just on getting a green flag from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC).
Performing artist Raza Murad, who is assuming the part of old ruler Sultan Jalaluddin Khilji in the film, stated, “I am a piece of the film, yet I haven’t seen it yet. One thing that I am certain of is that the film will demonstrate Rani Padmavati as an exceptionally smooth woman. The way the movie producers have depicted the respect, glory, and fortitude of Rajputs, I don’t think any other individual has ever done that in any film”.
