Shri Rajput Karni Sena chief Lokendra Singh Kalvi on Monday said he would not allow Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat to be released “at any cost” and warned that if cinema halls went ahead with the January 25 release it would lead to an “enormous outburst of people”.
He also urged other state governments that want a ban to come together to approach the Supreme Court.
Speaking to IANS, Kalvi said: “We will not allow the film to be released at any cost. The Supreme Court has directed the state governments to ensure release of the film, but not to us (Karni Sena).

“Once the film is released, the outburst of people will be enormous and cinema halls will be responsible for the cost.
“I request other state governments who had earlier declared they would ban the film to come forward and file a petition in the Supreme Court to stop the release of the film.”
