This is the aukat of groups like the Karni Sena: attackers of little kids. Video of school bus attacked today in Gurugram by anti-Padmavati cowards. The Indian government is still not showing sufficient intent to control this reign of terror. Parts of India are still burning and the protestors are venting their anger even by attacking school buses. There have been different forms of reproduction of the story of Padmavati and none of them ever got into this much controversy.

However, in spite of all the hype the serial could not generate the desired TRPРІР‚в„ўs and was stopped midway. The casting of popular baddie, Mukesh Rishi as Alauddin was a highlight.

This series had huge sets, expensive costumes and a big budget. This massive television serial was made for Sony TV in 2009. Bhansali gave his larger than life touch to the opera, and its success gave him the confidence to make it into a film.

He made a great splash amongst French audience and media. Om Puri as the cruel Khilji remains firmly etched in my memory.Р”В«efore this film, Bhansali got a chance to direct RoussellРІР‚в„ўs opera in 2008. Though primarily a TV series, theР’В episode was a short film of sorts which used Rajasthani music and folk dances to carry forward the story. This popular episode of Shyam BenegalРІР‚в„ўs series was titled Alauddin Khilji and Padmavat in 1988 and did not face any opposition. This remains the most widely watched version of the epic poem. This rather low key Hindi historical was released in 1964 starring Anita Guha and remains largely unseen and totally forgettable. The massive sets and dances were the highlights but the film did not do wonders at the box office. The first big film adaptation was this big budget Tamil historical of 1963, starring Sivaji Ganesan, Vyjanthimala and M.N.Nambiar. The great French composer Roussel composed this grand 2 part opera based on JayasiРІР‚в„ўs work in 1923 and made the story popular in European countries for generations, though not many Indians are aware of it.

Though the filmРІР‚в„ўs release has been opposed by fringe groups, weР’В can see that several versions of the workР’В haveР’В been adapted earlier, without much controversy. The cult literature piece features Rani of Chittoor РІР‚вЂњ Padmini (Padmavati), Maharaja Ratan Singh and Sultan Alauddin Khilji and is part of Rajasthani folklore. ThereР’В has been an allegation that there was no Rajput queen by that name and the story is only inspired by Malik Mohamad JayasiРІР‚в„ўs epic poem Padmavat. Sanjay Leela BhansaliРІР‚в„ўs magnum opus Padmaavat is finally getting released after months of controversy, delays, protests and change in title from Padmavati to Padmaavat.
