November 19, 2017 15:14

Viacom18, makers of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati, say they have voluntarily deferred film's release date.

The movie was to be released on December 1 earlier.

More details awaited.

Meanwhile, continuing the string of revolts against the film, members of the Akhil Bharatiya Kshatriya Mahasabha on Sunday staged a protest against its release, in the national capital.

In a video that surfaced, the protestors can be seen raising slogans against Bhansali's magnum opus using brandish swords.

Arjun Gupta, a member of the Central Board of Film Certification and a Bharatiya Janata Party leader, came out strongly against Bhansali and said that the filmmaker should be tried for treason for making such movies.

"I have written a letter to Giriraj Singh and asked him to take strict action against Bhansali and he should be tried for treason," Gupta told ANI.
