British-era water tank narrates the story of Padmavati & Kanchi Abhijan
This legend has been told and retold over centuries and in all forms including the world-famous Pattachitra paintings of Raghurajpur.
Justifying the protests against the film ‘Padmavati’, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday said nobody had the right to distort history.
Speaking to reporters, the CM said he had himself studied history and even been to Chittoor. “Cinematic license did not give anyone the right to twist historical facts,” Amarinder said.
“Those feeling hurt by distortion of facts had the right to protest,” he said, adding that protests were a justified recourse in a democratic system.

Protests are being held across the country ever since the promos of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s historical drama “Padmavati” were out demanding a complete ban on the film, alleging that the filmmaker distorted the facts.
Many groups have been opposing the film fearing the movie would depict a romantic relationship between Rani Padmavati (Deepika Padukone) and Allaudin Khilji (Ranveer Singh).
