Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali was assaulted by a rampaging mob on the set of his next film, 'Padmavati', in Jaipur yesterday. The unit was shooting for a dream sequence when activists of a local group, Rajput Karni Sena, marched into the set at Jaigarh Fort and accusing Bhansali of distorting historical facts in the costume drama, slapped him and pulled his hair. They also damaged equipment.
