Bihar Government has decided to ban the movie and CM Nitish Kumar issued a statement that the movie won't get a release in Bihar until the concerned parties clarify the issue. Earlier Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani said the movie has scenes which hurt the sentiments of many and it won't be screened.
It should be remembered that Gujarat is about to face its elections this December. 'Padmavati' is said to have distorted some historical facts of the Rajputs and that is the main reason behind all the controversies. The movie has passed the censor board certification.
