Suraj Pal Amu, BJP leader had earlier said to a loyal crowd of followers, “I want to congratulate the Meerut youth who announced a Rs 5-crore bounty for beheading Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Leela Bhansali,We will reward those who behead them with Rs 10 crore and also take care of their family’s needs.”
Amu also threatened actor Ranveer Singh for supporting Sanjay Leela Bhansali. He said that Ranveer should take back his words in support of the director or they will “break his legs”.
Viacom Pictures has therefore released an official statement saying: “Viacom18 Motion Pictures, the studio behind Padmavati has voluntarily deferred the release date of the film from December 1st 2017.”
