Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming movie "Padmavati" is going through many controversies. And this the reason why the release of the film is postponed. Now, reports say that the movie will release on 1 December.  The Bollywood Film Industry is planning for Blackout for 15 mins to show their support for "Padmavati". Indian Films and TV Directors' Association (IFTDA) along with 20 other bodies of the Film and Television Industry are planning a 15 minute blackout in the support of the film and also to protect the right to freedom of expression of creative individuals. publive-image Earlier in this month, IFTDA, along with the other Cine bodies came at front to support "Padmavati". Ashoke Pandit said, "We will keep showing our support for 'Padmavati' and Sanjay Leela Bhansali because it is the basic right of a creative person to tell a story in his own way. Sanjay is a responsible filmmaker and making a film on History is not something easy for him but a big responsibility. To express our solidarity (with the film), we are gathering on Sunday for a 15 minute blackout where all shooting units in Mumbai will put off lights and no shootings will take place." publive-image The controversy started with the assumptions that there are intimate scenes between Rajput queen Padmavati and Alauddin Khijli, which could hurt the sentiments of Rajput community. Thereafter, the Rajput Karni Sena started a protest and threatened the makers of the film to stop its release. But,  the entire Film Fraternity is in support with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The members of film and television industry will be joining the blackout protest titled "Main Azaad Hoon" on 26 November at the Film City main entrance starting at 3:30pm.
