Updated:7 years, 11 months ago

New Delhi, Nov 13 (ANI): Speaking on the ongoing controversy surrounding Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s 'Padmavati', Bollywood actor Jacqueline Fernandez, on Monday, said the film is a form of art and everyone has the freedom of speech. While talking exclusively to ANI, the ‘Kick’ actress said that those who have issues with the film rather should not watch it but violence is not the way to solve it. In the recent development, Shahid Kapoor, who plays Maharawal Ratan Singh in Bhansali's magnum-opus, has urged everyone to give the film ‘a chance’. The period drama, starring Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor, has been facing protests from various communal groups, including Shree Rajput Karni Sena for allegedly tampering with historical facts. The movie, which is slated to release on December 1, has been embroiled in a spate of controversies ever since its inception.
