Now various threats have been issued against the filmmakers and the actors of the film. People are claiming to be upset about the portrayal of women in the film, for being anti-Hindu and anti-national among other things. BJP media coordinator Suraj Pal Amu has threatened to break the legs of one of the lead actors, Ranveer Singh. He also spoke about a bounty of Rs 10 cores on the heads of director Sanjay Leela Bhansali and lead female protagonist Deepika Padukone. There have also been calls for Padukone’s nose to be cut off. The irony of such violent threats emanating from those claiming to be concerned for women appears ironical in the extreme.
Protestors blocked the entry of tourists into the historical Chittorgarh fort and the protests are also impacting other historical forts in the state. In Rajasthan, where tourism is a major source of income, this is significant.
