Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming movie Padmavati has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. From the sets being vandalized to now a PIL seeking ban on the movie, things haven't been going good for SLB.

The petitioner Kamta Prasad Singhal had pleaded that under the Sati (Prevention) Act, the practice was banned and even its propagation was banned and made punishable. The Allahabad High Court has asked a petitioner, seeking a ban on the movie "Padmavati" on the ground that it allegedly propagates the practice of Sati, to approach the Censor Board with his plea. A division bench of justices Vikram Nath and Abdul Moin on Thursday refused the interfere in the matter.
