    Recently, there were huge protests against Ashutosh Gowariker's 'Panipat'

    However, this is not the first that a period drama film is in trouble over alleged distortion of historical facts.

Subsequently, the producers of the movie have now reportedly agreed to delete the controversial scene.

    Previously, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmaavat' faced similar wrath

    Similarly, last year in January, several fringe groups carried out violent protests across North India against the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmaavat, over the alleged wrongful portrayal of Rani Padmini of Chittor.
