Rajasthan’s Social Justice and Empowerment Minister Arun Chaturvedi said that the ‘Padmavati’, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film will be screened before the Shri Rashtriya Rajput Karni Sena before it is released in the state.

According to the reports published in The Indian Express, the minister’s department said, “the delegation has been assured that we have put a hold on the shooting of the film in the state.
