The previous attack was said to be regarding the rumoured portrayal of Padmavati's romance with Allauddin Khilji. Earlier, the movie was a targetted by Rajput Karni Sena during its shooting in Rajasthan.

Who tipped the goons off about Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s new shooting location? None of the stars were present at the shooting location when the incident occured.

The film’s shooting started last week with Ranveer Singh. Bhansali was filming with the secondary cast. Reportedly, the location of the shoot was kept under wraps and not revealed to even family and close friends. According to news reports, a body was found hanging near the film’s shooting location on Friday with “Padmavati” and “We don’t burn effigies, we hang” etched into a rock. Lead actress of the film, Padmavati, Deepika Padukone says she is in a "state of shock" over the assault on the the film's director Sanjay Leela Bhansali during the shooting in Jaipur. “Padmavati” is set to hit the theatres in November this year.

Padmavati is the story of Rajput queen Rani Padmini, who is said to have immolated herself rather than be captured by the tyrant Alauddin Khilji. The shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ambitious film ‘Padmavati’ had to be called-off yet again, but this time it wasn’t due to any protests. It’s unbelievable that the filmmaker’s Padmavati is in trouble once again. The team is wondering how the goons got to know. While Ranveer and Deepika have begun shooting their parts, Shahid is yet to visit the sets of ‘Padmavati’.

The location of 'Padmavati' was later shifted from Rajasthan to Kolhapur post the incident.
