Following the Supreme Court order paving the way for the nationwide release of the film 'Padmaavat', Rajput Karni Sena leader Lokendra Singh Kalvi today gave a call for a 'janata curfew' on January 25.

Talking to reporters in Ujjain, he said, "Not only Rajputs but all communities in the country are opposing this film. We can't give a call of 'Bharat bandh' as January 26 is our national festival, but a 'janata curfew' (people's curfew) should be observed on the day of its release, January 25."

"I suspect that any film can be released in spite of a state government's wish. I still request the prime minister... Even after a film is cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification, the power to ban any film lies with the Union cabinet. In such situation, the Supreme Court cannot intervene. I urge all social organisations which opposed this film over the past one and a half months to observe a 'social and janata curfew' on January 25," he said.

A film on queen Padmavati should be made but 'it should be in accordance with the history', he said.

"Initially, the film was based on a love story. Now Sanjay Leela Bhansali is saying that everything has been corrected. I can believe anybody but not Bhansali," said the Rajput leader, who was in Ujjain to take part in a local Rajput community programme.

Meanwhile, in Bihar's Muzaffarpur, members of Rajput Karni Sena today attacked a cinema hall and tore down posters of Padmaavat.

The incident took place at Jyoti cinema hall in Muzaffarpur's Mithanpura police station area where the protesters came brandishing swords and wearing saffron head scarves, SHO Vijay Kumar said.

He said the Karni Sena members raised slogans like 'Jai Maa Bhavani' and 'Padmaavat ko ban karo' as they tore down posters of the Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer.

Before departing, the protesters also warned the staff of the cinema hall not to screen the movie, the SHO said, adding that no arrests have been made so far and investigation is on.   -- PTI
