Haryana BJP leader announces Rs.10 crore for killing Deepika, Sanjay
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,November 20 2017]
In an irresponsible manner, a senior Haryana BJP leader has announced that he would reward Rs.10 crore to anyone who brought to him the ‘heads’ of Bollywood’s Hollywood-bound actress Deepika Padukone and film-maker Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Sanjay’s latest directorial venture Padmavati, which hasn’t yet released in theatres till now, is the contre of the controversy as BJP and other Hindutva organizations have protested strongly against the film (a biopic on Chittoor queen Padmavati) which has shown the queen and Rajputs in bad light. They have demanded scrapping of some controversial sequences in the film failing which they won’t allow its release in halls.
Deepika plays the title role of ‘Padmavati’, wife of the Rajput king Ratan Singh. It is accused by the film’s detractors that Bhansali’s script shows Padmavati as an ‘immoral’ woman as she is said to be having a ‘physical relationshi’ with Alauddin Khilji (played by Deepika’s real-life beau Ranveer Singh). Though the film’s crew has denied this, the film is being opposed by Hindutva groups across the country.
After a Hindu Mahasabha leader announced that he would maim Deepika by cutting off her nose, it is now the turn of Suraj Pal Singh, a BJP leader in Haryana, to declare that anyone approaching with the ‘heads’ of Deepika and/or Sanjay Leela Bhansali would be ‘rewarded’ Rs.10 crores. The BJP leader’s announcement has created huge excitement in political circles in Haryana and elsewhere in the country.
