The assault caused widespread anger in the film industry who took to social media to show their support for the director.

The film features Deepika Padukone as queen Padmavati opposite Shahid Kapoor who is Ratan Singh. Ranveer Singh portrays the character of Alauddin Khilji in the movie, which marks Bhansali's return to period drama after 'Bajirao Mastani'.

The cast also shared their thoughts on Twitter, with Singh clarifying that they were making the movie 'keeping in mind the sensitivities and emotions of the people of Rajasthan and the Rajput community'.

As a team, we are making 'Padmavati' keeping in mind the sensitivities and emotions of the people of Rajasthan and the Rajput community.
