Mr.Raja Singh threatens to halt the screening of the film at any cost citing distortion of Historical facts as reason.He said that Allauddin Khilji was reponsible for the mass “Jauhar” performed by 1600 queens including Rani Padmavati. To this point, Mr.Rahul Kanwal challenged Mr. Raja Singh to show any Historical document pertaining to Rajput History written before 1540 to prove his argument. Rahul Kanwal’s argument was that the story of Padmavati was a fictional one based on the poem ‘Padmavat’ written by Malik Muhammad Jayasi in 1540.
Mr.Raja Singh was observed to beating around the bush to the question posed by Mr.Rahul Kanwal and just arguing meaninglessly showcasing his poor knowledge on History.
