BJP MP of Ujjain, Chintamani Malviya, opposing SLB's upcoming movie Padmavati, said that people like Sanjay Leela Bhansali only understand the "language of shoes".

"People like Bhansali do not understand any other language. People like him only understand the language of shoes. This country will not disrespect Rani Padmavati. We will not tolerate any distortion of our history," the 48-year-old MP wrote in a Facebook post on Monday.

"I strongly protest and propose boycotting the movie 'Padmavati'. I request my well-wishers not to watch this movie. It is shameful to make such films for the greed of money," the BJP leader said.
