In an interview, Bhansali told PTI "It is just an answer to the anguish that we all went through including me, the actors and the technicians. All of us were not being heard even after repeatedly saying that there is nothing wrong in the film. I realised that the best way of going ahead and fighting this is to make the film that is in my mind’’.

He also said that he was troubled, distracted but deep inside he found the strength to make the film and not let the anguish and disturbance reflect on the screen.

"The protests were illogical, they had no reasoning and there was nothing to be discussed. It had reached an obnoxious level with people sitting with swords on national television and giving death threats’’, Bhansali was quoted as saying.

‘Padmaavat’ features Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles.
