Activists of a local organisation today attacked director Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the set of his movie Padmavati in Jaipur. They slapped him and tore his cloths.

Members of Karni Sena stalled the shooting of film at the Jaigarh fort. They're unhappy with Bhansali for allegedly distorting historical facts in the movie.

"The film is presenting wrong information about (Queen) Padmavati. Our basic protest is about distortion of historic facts which will not be tolerated," Vikram Singh, a Karni Sena activist said.

Deepika Padukone plays queen Padmavati opposite Shahid Kapoor's Ratan Singh.

Ranveer Singh is in the role of Alauddin Khilji in the movie, which marks Bhansali's return to period era after the success of Bajirao Mastani.
