After appearing before the parliamentary standing committee on Thursday, filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali has now set out to extend an olive branch to many others who have opposed the release of Padmavati without having seen the film. We hear the director will be meeting the chief ministers or state representatives of the five states - Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat - that have banned the Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh-starrer.
