Watch film before objecting: Richa Chadha on 'Padmavati' controversy
Mumbai

Actress Richa Chadha has asked those who are protesting
against the release of Sanjay Leele Bhansali's "Padmavati" to first watch the
film. She says that no religion is that weak that a movie can break it.
Richa, who was present at the song launch of "Fukrey Returns", shared her
thoughts on "Padmavati" controversy stating her faith will not be shaken because
of a film.
"With all due respect and love, I am also a Hindu, and I don't
think religion is so weak that a movie can break it. And I think it is a
specialty of India that we are a democracy so watch the film before objecting,"
said the actress, who worked with Bhansali in film "Goliyon Ki Raasleela
Ram-Leela".
"There is body in India which certifies the films so they
have done their work.
"And I have so much believe in my faith, tradition,
and culture, that it will not shake because of some 2-3 hours long film," she
added.
"Padmavati" is being opposed by the Karni Sena on religious and
historical grounds.
The "Fukrey Returns" team, including Pulkit Samrat,
Varun Sharma, Ali Fazal, Manjot Singh, Richa Chadha and filmmaker Mrighdeep
Singh Lamba launched the song 'Mehbooba' on Wednesday.
The club song is
an ode to the Mohammed Rafi chartbuster that featured Dharmendra-Zeenat Aman, "O
Meri Mehbooba" from the 1977 blockbuster "Dharam Veer".
The song is
composed and recreated by Prem & Hardeep and is crooned by Neha Kakkar and
Yasser Desai with a rap by Raftaar.
Apart from fun and comedy, the movie
also holds a special message of wildlife preservation, which is evident from the
trailer.
"It is a film for wildlife preservation. It is so important now
that we are losing forests, and they are endangered species, so through this
film, we are trying to tell people not to kill tigers or snakes," said Richa.
