Mumbai, Jan 28 (PTI): Actress Deepika Padukone says she is in "state of shock" over the attack on director Sanjay Leela Bhansali during the shooting of his directorial venture "Padmavati" in Jaipur.

The 31-year-old actress, who is playing the lead role of Rani Padmavati in the film, expressed her anger in a series of tweets.

"In a state of shock!deeply saddened and disheartened by yesterday's events!#Padmavati," Deepika wrote. The actress assured that the team behind the film is not distorting any historical facts and their aim is to bring on-screen the story of "courageous and powerful" Padmavati.

"As Padmavati I can assure you that there is absolutely no distortion of history.#Padmavati
"Our only endeavour is & has always been to share with the world the story of this courageous & powerful woman in the purest form there is," she wrote.

Bhansali, was shooting for his new film in Jaipur's Jaigarh Fort, when he was assaulted by activists of a Rajput community group, Karni Sena, who also vandalised the set and stalled the shooting.

The movie stars Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Raja Ratan Singh. None of the stars were present at the shooting location when the incident occured. Bhansali was filming with the secondary cast.

"Padmavati" is set to hit the theatres in November this year. The director is yet to react on the incident that has angered the entire film industry.

    . The controversy arising in Rajasthan in relation to filming of a story having historical content in Padmavati is apparently unfortunate. Film industry may not do anything which can be read to be an implied attempt at distorting history or touching upon feelings of a community. It may be known that historical events and anecdotes are mostly relating to distant past , some different perceptions sometimes appear. However , this Vedic astrology writer had alerted last year in October and November that during first three months of 2017 , particularly in February-March , some parts of Rajasthan could be in focus for major worrisome concerns involving impulses of a community. These alerts in article “ 2017- an opportune year for India with major worrisome concerns in February-March and August-September” ( also known as “ Probable predictions in relation to India in coming year 2017” ) were issued widely to Indian news media last year in October and November 2016. It seems the alert was meaningful.
