1/97Smriti Irani ensures Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmavati' will release without any trouble

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmavati' has been facing many issues since it started rolling. Many controversies came up one after another surrounding the film. Fringe political outfits like the Rajput Karni Sena has continued with its tirade against the film and has declared that they will boycott the release of the film.

However, recently, Information and Broadcasting minister, Smriti Irani said that the film will face no trouble during its release. While replying to Karan Johar's comment about 'political pressure' on the film, at an event, she assured that the state government will ensure the law and order and will not allow any miscreants to disrupt any kind of interaction or display. She said, "I am sure law and order will be under control. The State government will ensure no miscreants disrupt any kind of interaction or display. I don’t envisage any problem. If there is any challenge, the State government will meet it.”

She added that miscreants without cover create such controversies and if the filmmaker communicates it properly then it is taken care of. She also said that to say something will happen is kind of "localised fear" these days.

Starring Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh, 'Padmavati' is all set to hit the theatres on December 1, 2017.
