Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s periodic drama ‘Padmavat’ will finally get its nation-wide release on January 25, despite protests that have erupted in parts of the nation. With the Supreme Court ruling in the film’s favour and lifting bans apart from directing states to allow the screenings while maintaining law and order, it has only added to the hype and anticipation to see the action unfold on the big screen.
Amidst all the tension surrounding the film, actress Renuka Shahane hit out at fringe groups with a strong message. In a series of pictures that have now gone viral online, Shahane posted a crossed-out image of the protesters seeking a ban on the film along with three pictures of herself holing up placards with messages that read - Ban rape, ban female foeticide, ban sexual molestation.
Shahane is among the long list of celebrities speaking up in support of ‘Padmaavat’, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor.
