Bhopal

Bollywood film "Padmaavat", which was mired in controversy
due to protests by Rajput outfits, could not be released in Madhya Pradesh
capital Bhopal and Indore on Thursday amid protests by Shri Rajput Karni Sena.
After the police ensured ample security, cinema hall owners in the two
cities agreed to screen the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film.
A special
screening was held for Karni Sena activists in Indore late on Wednesday.
However, the Rajput outfit continued to object to the film's screening claiming
facts have been distorted, leading to cinema halls cancelling the proposed
screening.
In Bhopal, five cinema halls had agreed to screen the film but
only in the evening. But after the cinema hall owners in Indore did not release
the film, their counterparts in Bhopal also backed out.
