Richa Chadha channels Meena Kumari for ‘Heeramandi’ role
Richa Chadha finds inspiration in Meena Kumari's iconic performance for her role in 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar'.
In the wake of Padmaavat controversy, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) suggested a change in the Ghoomar song. The makers of the film have now released a new version of the song and they have covered Deepika’s midriff through CGI. The protest against Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmaavat has gone a step ahead.
The protest began after there were rumors of intimate scenes between Alauddin Khilji and queen Padmavati in a portion of the movie. Though the director denied such claims, it made no difference to the protestors. Later, female lead Deepika Padukone had to face threats from Karni Sena.
Rajput women too are standing against the release of the film and threatened to commit ‘jaauhar’. Supreme Court has finally made a verdict to release the film nationwide on 25 January. However, the decision has not gone down well with the protestors as they have made it clear that the protests still continue.
