All ‘misunderstandings’ between Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the Rajput community have apparently been solved. A press release issued by the makers of Padmavati states:

Representatives of Bhansali Productions Private Limited, including Ms. Shobha Sant (CEO) and Mr.Chetan Deolekar (Associate Producer) met with the office bearers of all the social organisations under the Shree Rajput Sabha in Jaipur. The misunderstanding they had on the content of the film has been cleared and clarified. We have clearly stated that there is no romantic scene or song or dream sequence between Rani Padmavati and Allauddin Khilji. Shri Giriraj ji Lotwara, President of Shree Rajput Sabha has been extremely helpful in bringing the various Rajput organisations including the Karni Sena, Sangh Shakti, Pratap Foundation, Bhawani Niketan together to clarify this.<b></b>

It’s still not clear if the makers of Padmavati have agreed to the earlier demands by the representatives of the Rajput community that they be shown the film before its release.

With this understanding having been reached, it is likely that the shooting for Padmavati will resume in Jaipur soon.
