Rakhi Sawant Threatened For Supporting Padmavati 

Mumbai: Even before Padmavati release, the film is embroiled in controversies and this time, actress Rakhi Sawanth has been trained guns by Karni Sena for extending her support to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film. The B-town item girl has asked everyone to watch the film. However, Rajput Karni Sena has now threatened her to blacken her face. “Rakhi Sawant ko sabhi bhai sabak sikha aur iska mooh kaala karien jahan bhi dikhe tabhi isko pata chalega iska baap kaun hai," Times of India reported.

In the video shared by Rakhi said, "I am very excited for 'Padmavati', how excited are you?They have made a beautiful film, Deepika Padukone has done fantastic work and Shahid is looking so good. I just want to say, friends not just in India even outside the country, everyone should come out and support and watch this film. Bhansali has made a beautiful film and some fringe groups are unnecessarily creating a fuss. It looks like a publicity stunt to me to come in limelight. They are targeting Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Deepika and Ranveer, it is unfair. There are so many films made on kings and queens. Their love stories have been told on the big screen beautifully. Some people are targeting the film to get publicity and we should not let that happen because no one can stop the film from releasing. We all are watching. No one can dare to stop the release of 'Padmavati'."

The film is slated to release on December 1.
