Deepika Padukone expressed her shock and anger after director Sanjay Leela Bhansali was slapped and assaulted by the angry members of fringe outfit Karni Sena at Jaigarh fort in Jaipur on the sets of his period drama, Padmavati. Deepika Padukone is playing Padmavati in the film. The film also stars Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Raja Rattan Singh in lead roles. The story of the film has not been revealed although protesters alleged the film will have Khilji romancing the queen in a dream sequence. The unsubstantiated report has been strongly denied by the makers.
