“The reactions that are coming about the portrayal of Maharaja Surajmalji in the film now, such a situation should not have been created… the censor board should intervene and take cognisance of it.

The Rajasthan Chief Minister said in another tweet that filmmakers should keep in mind the sentiments of the people while portraying a character in a particular light.
“Before making a film one must make sure to show one’s personality in the right perspective so that there is no controversy, I believe that art should be respected by the artist but they should also take care that any caste, religion, class, the legends and gods of the world should not be insulted,” tweeted Gehlot.
The film depicts the events that were fought between the Maratha Empire and the Afghan King Ahmed Shah Abdali in 1761 due to the Third Battle of Panipat. Arjun Kapoor plays the role of Sadashivrao Bhau, who led the Maratha army during the fight against the invading Afghan army.
