Bihar Becomes Fifth State To Ban 'Padmavati', Nitish Kumar Says Govt Will Not Release Without 'Amicable Solution' For All Parties Involved

After Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Uttar Pradesh, Bihar on Tuesday decided to ban controversial Sanjay Leela Bhasali's movie "Padmavati".
Chief minister Nitish kumar said the state government will not release without "amicable solution" for all parties involved.
Recently, the Shree Rajput Karni Sena has demanded full ban on the film in Haryana.
The period drama directed by Bhansali and starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, and Shahid Kapoor has been facing protests from Shri Rajput Karni Sena for allegedly tampering with historical facts.
Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar is heading the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led government in Haryana, where the film isn't banned.

On November 22, Gujarat chief minister Vijay Rupani declared his government would not allow the release of the film in the poll-bound state.

Earlier, Madhya Pradesh chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan held the film had "distorted facts" about Rajput queen Padmavati and would not be allowed to be released in his state, even if it gets a censor board certification.
His Uttar Pradesh counterpart Yogi Adityanath had held the movie director responsible for hurting the sentiments of the Rajput community, while Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje had sought edits in the film to remove "objectionable sequences".

Details are awaited...
