Stay BAJIRAO MASTANI release |
Hemant Patil, president of a city-based NGO `Bharat Against Corruption`, petitioned the High Court after a court in Pune dismissed his application seeking ban on the film`s release as it allegedly distorts history relating to late king Shrimant Bajirao Peshwa and his family members.The filmmaker has tweaked facts under the pretext of artistic licence. There are various historic evidences as well as several letters from the descendants of Peshwas which prove misrepresentation in the name of creativity. The movie, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starring Ranveer Singh as Bajirao, Priyanka Chopra as Kashibai and Deepika Padukone as Mastani, is slated for release on December 18, 2015. Now, there is a demand on the movie`s release for its song "Pinga" being offensive to Marathi culture. It is a known fact that Kashibai was a handicap and suffering from asthma, and hence it is highly impossible that she danced with Mastani. The said song is nothing but an obscene item song, the petitioner claims. Patil has prayed for a stay on the movie`s release until another song `Malhari` is not re-censored.
