'Padmavati' director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is no less guilty than those issuing threats to actors involved in the film, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said yesterday, accusing the film-maker of being "habitual of playing with public sentiments". The chief minister asserted that if there is any action, "it will be against both the sides" as he attacked Bhansali, further fuelling the ongoing row over the screening of the movie. "No one has the right to take the law into own hands whether it is Sanjay Leela Bhansali or anyone else," Adityanath said yesterday.
