Kolkata: Prakash Jha has said the protest
against the upcoming film "Padmavati" is not a new phenomenon
and stressed that in a democracy such as India, people have
the right to dissent.
The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed magnum opus has been
in trouble since January with community organisations accusing
the filmmaker of "distorting historical facts" and many
demanding a ban on the film.
