Padmaavat

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus enraged various religious outfits including descendants of Rajputs. The controversy lasted for months. Right from the time the movie’s title was named till hours before the release of the film, violence prevailed. The outfits felt that the film mispresented and insulted Rajputs and their bravery. So what did they do? They burned down sets, vandalised public property and threatened to behead Bhansali and his lead actress Deepika Padukone. But, the film released and, turns out, didn’t really offend anybody. But, this is a controversy that one can never forget.
