The Parliamentary committee on IT has invited ‘Padmavathi’ director Sanjay Leela Bhansali to let him share his opinion on the controversy over the film, panel chairman Anurag Thakur, told on Tuesday.
The panel also called some other officials from the Information and Broadcasting ministry and CBFC, Central Board of Film Certification to discuss the film, which has been entangled in a controversy over allegations made that it is giving a wrong picture about the history.
Thakur said the panel had invited the movie director to know his views on the controversy. This meeting is scheduled to take place on Thursday.
Contradicting to this news, some inside sources say, certain officials told that Bhansali is ‘shying away’ from making an appearance and has not confirmed about attending the meeting.
The movie is based on the Padmavathi life story. The movie is under severe scrutiny over the way the life story of Rani Padmavathi is shown. Some BJP states have even banned screening of the movie in their regions. We have to wait and watch until Thursday till the meeting is over to known the outcome and fate of the movie.
